SIBI-P1 Translation G782-12
they were greeting
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense, middle voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The imperfect indicative conveys ongoing or repeated action in past time, rendered as "were greeting." The middle voice reflects personal involvement in the act of greeting, inherent in this deponent verb, without requiring an explicit reflexive in English. |
