SIBI-P1 Translation G1280-01
was deeply perplexed
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular, denotes an ongoing past state of intense confusion. "Was deeply perplexed" reflects the intensified force of διά (thoroughly) with ἀπορέω (to be at a loss), preserving both the root sense and the imperfect aspect. |
