SIBI-P1 G1097-03

he/she/it was coming-to-know

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, third person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,). The imperfect denotes continuous or progressive action in past time.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the root sense of experiential or relational knowing inherent in γινώσκω by expressing it as "coming-to-know." The imperfect active indicative, third person singular, is reflected in "was coming-to-know," indicating ongoing or unfolding action in past time performed by he/she/it.
