was able
| Morphological Notes | Verb, imperfect, middle (deponent), indicative, 3rd person singular — denotes past ongoing or repeated state of ability. |
| Rendering Rationale | The imperfect indicative expresses ongoing or repeated ability in past time, hence "was able." Though middle in form, δύναμαι is deponent, carrying active meaning of possessing capacity or power. |
