they departed
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed past), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, 3rd person plural, denotes a simple completed action in past time. "They departed" preserves the root sense of moving away from a point of origin and reflects the plural subject and active voice. |
