Morphological NotesPrimarily parsed as Gr,V,IAA2,,S: verb, aorist, active, indicative, 2nd person singular ("you laid-forth/you said"). Also attested as Gr,V,PAA,NMS: present, active participle, nominative masculine singular ("laying-forth/saying"). Aorist indicates simple completed action; active voice marks the subject as agent.
Rendering RationaleThe verb λέγω fundamentally means "to lay forth" in speech, highlighting ordered or meaningful verbal expression. The aorist active indicative, 2nd person singular (IAA2S), is rendered "you laid-forth" to reflect completed action in past time with active voice and direct address. In participial occurrences (PAA NMS), it carries the sense "laying-forth (in word)," preserving the present active participle’s ongoing aspect and nominative masculine singular form.
