SIBI-P1 Translation G1911-05
to throw upon
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, infinitive mood. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active infinitive expresses the simple act of deliberately casting or placing something upon another. "To throw upon" preserves the compound force of ἐπί (upon) + βάλλω (to throw), retaining the root image of directed placement. |
