SIBI-P1 Translation G455-10
opened up
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple completed action), active voice, indicative mood, third person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, third person singular, denotes a simple completed action in the past: "opened up." The rendering preserves the core physical sense of unclosing while reflecting the compound force of ἀνά as an intensifier. |
