SIBI-P1 G2014-01
it was-shone-forth
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist passive indicative, 3rd person singular. The aorist presents the action as a completed whole; the passive voice indicates the subject is the one manifested or brought to light. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἐπιφαίνω combines ἐπί (upon) with φαίνω (to shine, bring to light), conveying the idea of shining upon or becoming manifest. The aorist passive indicative, third person singular, is reflected in the simple past "was-shone-forth," preserving both the completed aspect and the passive voice, indicating that the subject came into visible manifestation. |
