you murdered
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, second person plural, denotes a completed act performed by "you" (plural). "You murdered" preserves both the deliberate, unlawful sense of φονεύω and the simple past force of the aorist without adding contextual nuance. |
