SIBI-P1 G2025-01
he/she was smearing over
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, third person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,). The imperfect denotes continuous or progressive past action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἐπιχρίω combines ἐπί (upon/over) with χρίω (to smear or anoint), so "smearing over" preserves the concrete root sense behind "anoint." The imperfect active indicative, third person singular, is reflected by "was smearing," indicating ongoing or repeated action in past time performed by he/she/it. |
