SIBI-P1 G4256-01
we were accusing beforehand
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, first person plural — “we were …ing.” |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the prefix προ- (“before, in advance”) and the root related to αἰτία (“cause, charge, accusation”), conveying the sense of bringing a charge previously. The imperfect active indicative, first person plural, is reflected in “we were accusing,” expressing ongoing past action performed by the speakers. |
