SIBI-P1 G1492-27
he/she/it has-seen-and-thus-knows
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense (stative/resultative), active voice, indicative mood, third person singular. Though formally perfect, it functions with present force: "he/she/it knows." |
| Rendering Rationale | οἶδεν is the perfect active indicative, third person singular of εἴδω. The perfect tense in Greek conveys a completed action with present result; since "seeing" results in "knowing," the rendering preserves both the root idea of sight and its settled present state of knowledge in the third person singular. |
