ran ahead
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past, completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, third person singular, denotes a completed action in past time: "he/she/it ran ahead." The rendering preserves the compound sense of προ- (ahead) and τρεχ- (run), conveying physical movement in advance of others. |
