SIBI-P1 Translation G2064-51
we were coming
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), middle voice, indicative mood, 1st person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The imperfect middle indicative, first person plural, denotes ongoing movement in past time involving the subjects themselves. "We were coming" preserves the continuous past aspect and the middle voice’s participatory nuance while reflecting the root idea of movement toward or away. |
