SIBI-P1 G1410-30

he/she/it was being-able

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), middle voice (deponent in form), indicative mood, 3rd person singular. The middle form functions with active meaning but retains middle morphology.
Rendering RationaleThe imperfect tense expresses ongoing or repeated action in past time, so "was being-able" reflects continuous past ability rather than a simple past event. The verb is middle in form (deponent), and though it carries active meaning, the middle morphology is preserved by avoiding a purely punctual rendering like "could." The third person singular is reflected in "he/she/it."
