SIBI-P1 G1097-13

I came-to-know

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active indicative, 1st person singular (Gr,V,IAA1,,S,). Aorist denotes a completed past action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; indicative mood states a factual occurrence.
Rendering RationaleThe verb γινώσκω denotes coming to know through recognition, experience, or relational encounter. The aorist active indicative first person singular (ἔγνων) expresses a simple, completed past action, often with an ingressive nuance, hence "I came-to-know," reflecting both the root sense and the aorist aspect.
