SIBI-P1 G2896-03

he/she was crying aloud

Morphological NotesVerb, imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,); denotes continuous or repeated action in past time, performed actively by the subject.
Rendering RationaleThe verb κράζω denotes a loud, piercing cry or shriek. The morphology (imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular) indicates an ongoing or repeated action in past time, so "was crying aloud" preserves both the vivid, vocal force of the root and the imperfect’s continuous aspect, while "he/she" reflects third person singular without specifying gender.
