SIBI-P1 G1833-01
to thoroughly-examine
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active infinitive (Gr,V,NAA). The aorist infinitive expresses a simple, undefined act of thoroughly examining, viewed as a whole. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "to thoroughly-examine" preserves the compound sense of ἐκ (out, thoroughly) + ἐτάζω (to examine, test), conveying an intensive investigation. The infinitive form is reflected by "to," and the aorist active aspect presents the action as a complete act of examination without emphasis on process. |
