they went up

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple past), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active indicative, third person plural, denotes a simple completed action in past time. "They went up" preserves the root sense of upward movement (ἀνα- + βαίνω) while reflecting the plural subject and active voice.
