Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. The imperfect indicates ongoing or repeated action in past time; active voice shows the subject performing the action.
Rendering RationaleThe verb τολμάω denotes active daring or venturing into bold action (as distinct from merely feeling courage). The imperfect active indicative, third person singular, expresses continuous or repeated action in past time, hence "was venturing boldly," reflecting ongoing or progressive daring in action.
