SIBI-P1 G4626-02

I dug

Morphological NotesVerb; second aorist active indicative; 1st person singular. The aorist denotes a simple, completed action in past time, and the active voice indicates the subject performs the action.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "I dug" reflects the root meaning of σκάπτω, which denotes the physical act of digging or excavating. The aorist active indicative, first person singular form (SAA1,S) is conveyed by the simple past tense "dug," expressing a completed action performed by the speaker.
