SIBI-P1 G191-45
I was hearing
| Morphological Notes | Verb, imperfect active indicative, 1st person singular (Gr,V,IAA1,,S,). The imperfect tense denotes continuous or repeated action in past time; active voice; indicative mood; first person singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "I was hearing" preserves the auditory root sense of ἀκούω while reflecting the imperfect active indicative, first person singular form—indicating ongoing or repeated action in past time. It maintains the active voice and personal involvement of the speaker. |
