SIBI-P1 G3906-04
they were closely-watching
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (ongoing past action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. From παρά (alongside) + τηρέω (to watch, keep). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of τηρέω (to watch/keep) intensified by παρά (alongside, closely). The imperfect active indicative, third person plural, is reflected by "they were" to convey ongoing past action, and "closely-watching" maintains the compounded sense of careful, possibly scrutinizing observation. |
