SIBI-P1 Translation G1669-01
having been ulcerated
| Morphological Notes | Verb, perfect tense, passive voice, participle; nominative masculine singular — describing a male subject in a completed state of having been ulcerated. |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect passive participle denotes one who has been acted upon and now remains in a state resulting from that action. "Having been ulcerated" preserves the root idea of ulcer formation and reflects the completed action with continuing condition inherent in the perfect passive. |
