SIBI-P1 G2068-20
to eat (as a completed act)
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active infinitive (Gr,V,NAA). The aorist presents the action as a complete event; active voice; infinitive mood expressing purpose, result, or complementary action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active infinitive denotes the verbal action in summary form, viewed as a whole or single act. "To eat (as a completed act)" preserves the core meaning of consuming food while reflecting the aorist aspect and infinitive mood. |
