SIBI-P1 G1096-22
he/she/it had come-to-be
| Morphological Notes | Verb; pluperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,ILA3,,S,). The pluperfect denotes a past action completed prior to another past reference point, with continuing results. Though γίνομαι is middle/deponent in sense, this form appears with active morphology. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb γίνομαι fundamentally denotes coming into being or becoming. The pluperfect active indicative, third person singular (γεγόνει), indicates a completed coming-into-being in the past with resulting state, hence "had come-to-be," preserving both the root idea of becoming and the past-completed aspect. |
