Lemmaκαλέω
Strong'sG2564

SIBI-P1 G2564-10

he/she/it was being called

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), passive voice, indicative mood, third person singular (Gr,V,IPP3,,S,). The subject receives the action of being called or named.
Rendering RationaleThe verb καλέω means "to call" or "to name." The form καλεῖται is imperfect passive indicative, third person singular, indicating an ongoing or repeated action in past time received by the subject; thus "was being called" preserves both the passive voice and the imperfect (past continuous) aspect.
