SIBI-P1 G218-07
you were anointing (with oil)
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), active voice, indicative mood, 2nd person singular. The augment (ἤ-) marks past time, and -ας indicates 2nd singular active. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἀλείφω refers concretely to applying oil or perfumed ointment by smearing. The imperfect active indicative, second person singular (IAA2S), expresses an ongoing or repeated action in past time, so "you were anointing" preserves both the root sense of oil-application and the past continuous aspect indicated by the morphology. |
