SIBI-P1 G1410-30
he/she/it was being-able
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), middle voice (deponent in form), indicative mood, 3rd person singular. The middle form functions with active meaning but retains middle morphology. |
| Rendering Rationale | The imperfect tense expresses ongoing or repeated action in past time, so "was being-able" reflects continuous past ability rather than a simple past event. The verb is middle in form (deponent), and though it carries active meaning, the middle morphology is preserved by avoiding a purely punctual rendering like "could." The third person singular is reflected in "he/she/it." |
