SIBI-P1 Translation G5177-06
having encountered
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, participle; accusative feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle denotes a completed act of happening upon or meeting with something. "Having encountered" preserves the root sense of reaching or meeting with, without imposing verse-specific context, and reflects the feminine accusative singular participial form. |
