SIBI-P1 G2564-10
he/she/it was being called
| Morphological Notes | Verb; 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 Rationale | The 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. |
