SIBI-P1 G4370-01
having run toward
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAA,NMS). The aorist denotes a complete action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; participle functions adjectivally or adverbially, agreeing with a masculine singular nominative referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle conveys a completed action prior to the main verb, so "having run" reflects the simple, whole action aspect of the aorist. "Toward" preserves the directional force of πρός (toward) combined with τρέχω (to run), maintaining the compound’s root meaning. The participial form (nominative masculine singular) is reflected in the implied masculine singular subject performing the action. |
