you-would-have
To have or possess, to hold in one's possession or grasp something tangible or intangible. The verb broadly expresses the idea of physical possession, but also extends to conceptual or abstract possession (such as qualities, states, or relationships). By extension, it means to experience (e.g., 'to have fear'), to maintain (a state or condition), to be in a particular state (e.g., 'to be sick'), or to relate or pertain to something (e.g., 'to bear relation to'). Depending on context, it can mean to be able (i.e., 'to have power/ability'), to keep or retain, to bear, to concern, or to be connected or joined with.

SIBI-P1 Translation G2192-34
you were having
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), active voice, indicative mood, 2nd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The imperfect active indicative, second person singular, expresses an ongoing or continuous past action: "you were having." This preserves the core sense of possession or holding while reflecting the past progressive aspect inherent in the imperfect tense. |
