εἰδυῖα
eídō
knowing
Primarily, to see, perceive, observe with the senses or mind; to know or understand as a result of perceiving. In a number of contexts, εἴδω conveys not merely the act of seeing with the eyes but also the mental apprehension or realization based on perception (i.e., 'to know', 'to recognize', 'to understand'). In perfect forms, it most frequently means 'to have seen' and thus 'to know' as a state based on acquired knowledge through seeing or experiencing. The full semantic range covers literal seeing, noticing, perceiving, observing, as well as understanding or being aware.

SIBI-P1 Translation G1492-18
having known
| Morphological Notes | Verb, perfect tense, active voice, participle; nominative feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect active participle denotes a completed act with present result; with εἴδω in the perfect, the sense is a settled state of knowledge arising from prior perception. "Having known" preserves both the participial form and the stative-result nuance of the perfect. |
