SIBI-P1 Translation G242-03

he sprang

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), middle voice (self-involved/deponent), indicative mood, 3rd person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist indicative conveys a simple, completed action in past time, rendered in English as a simple past. The middle voice, common with this verb, carries a self-involved nuance but is deponent in form, so "he sprang" preserves the energetic, sudden motion inherent in the root without adding artificial reflexivity.
