Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, first person plural.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active indicative, first person plural, expresses a simple completed act of movement by "we." "We came" preserves the core sense of arrival/movement inherent in ἐρχ- without adding contextual directionality.
