SIBI-P1 Translation G1089-03
having tasted
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), middle voice (self-involving/deponent), participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist middle participle nominative masculine singular denotes a completed act of tasting or experiencing, viewed as a whole. "Having tasted" preserves the root sense of perceiving flavor while allowing for its figurative extension to experiencing or partaking, and reflects the participial and middle (self-involving) form. |
