SIBI-P1 Translation G3004-17
of having said
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active participle; genitive masculine singular (Gr,V,PAA,GMS) — completed action, active voice, participial form functioning in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle conveys a completed act of speaking, and the genitive masculine singular form requires a genitive rendering. "Of having said" preserves both the completed aspect and the case without adding contextual assumptions. |
