SIBI-P1 Translation G907-04
having been immersed
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (completed action), passive voice (action received), participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist passive participle denotes a completed action received by the subject; thus "having been immersed" preserves both the passive voice and the participial form while reflecting the core sense of submerging in liquid. |
