he permitted

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active indicative, 3rd singular, denotes a completed act performed by one subject, best conveyed in English as simple past: "he permitted." This reflects the root sense of turning a matter over to another, thus granting permission or authority.
