SIBI-P1 G906-36

he/she/it was casting

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense (past ongoing/repeated action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe verb βάλλω fundamentally means "to throw" or "to cast." The imperfect active indicative third singular form (ἔβαλεν, IAA3S) denotes continuous or repeated action in past time, hence "was casting," preserving the ongoing aspect and the active voice with an unspecified third-person singular subject (he/she/it).
