SIBI-P1 Translation G2476-18

having stood

Morphological NotesVerb; perfect tense (completed action with present result), active voice, participle; accusative neuter plural.
Rendering RationaleThe perfect active participle conveys a completed action with continuing state; thus "having stood" reflects one who has come to a standing position and remains so. The accusative neuter plural form indicates multiple entities in that state.
