SIBI-P1 Translation G48445-01

it was falling together

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,). The imperfect tense conveys ongoing or progressive action in past time; active voice; indicative mood; singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe lemma συμπίπτω combines σύν (together) and πίπτω (to fall), literally meaning "to fall together." The imperfect active indicative (3rd person singular) denotes ongoing past action, so "it was falling together" preserves both the compound root sense and the continuous past aspect.
