having heard
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense, active voice, participle; accusative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect active participle denotes completed hearing with continuing effect; "having heard" preserves the completed aspect while maintaining the participial form. The active voice keeps the subject as the one performing the act of hearing. |
