SIBI-P1 G2896-05
they were crying aloud
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing/repeated action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. The imperfect highlights sustained or repeated crying in the past. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb κράζω conveys a loud, piercing cry or shriek, not merely speaking but vocally calling out with intensity. The imperfect active indicative, third person plural (IIA3P), indicates ongoing or repeated action in past time, hence "they were crying aloud," reflecting continuous past action performed by them. |
