SIBI-P1 Translation G1861-02
having pledged himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (completed action), middle voice (self-involving), participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist participle conveys a completed act, while the middle voice indicates self-involvement or obligation; thus "having pledged himself" reflects a completed self-binding declaration. This preserves the root sense of announcing with personal commitment. |
