SIBI-P1 Translation G4098-03
he fell
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, third person singular, expresses a simple completed action in past time: "he fell." This preserves the core root sense of descending or collapsing from a higher to a lower state or position without adding contextual nuance. |
