SIBI-P1 Translation G2177-01
having leapt upon
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), middle voice (deponent in sense), participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist participle conveys a completed act of sudden motion, so "having leapt upon" reflects the simple, whole action. The middle form (deponent in usage) retains active force while preserving the participial, nominative masculine singular morphology. |
