SIBI-P1 G5342-06

they were bearing

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense (past ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, third person plural — "they were ..." performing the action.
Rendering RationaleThe verb φέρω fundamentally means "to bear" or "to carry." The imperfect active indicative, third person plural (IAA3,,P) expresses continuous or repeated action in past time, so "they were bearing" preserves both the root sense of carrying/bearing and the ongoing past aspect indicated by the imperfect tense.
