SIBI-P1 Translation G4390-01
having run ahead
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active participle; nominative masculine singular (PAA NMS). |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle denotes a completed action of running ahead, while the compound root (προ- + τρεχ-) emphasizes movement before others. "Having run ahead" preserves both the completed aspect and the forward-running sense. |
