Acts 7:31 #29

In Acts 7:31, ἐθαύμασεν parsed as Imperfect; shouldn't it be Aorist?

Line 4123:
050731 V- 3IAI-S-- ⸀ἐθαύμασεν ἐθαύμασεν ἐθαύμασε(ν) θαυμάζω

This raises a question about how far the morphological tagging should go to retain ambiguities at the morphological level. Once I split tense and aspect I can introduce the notion of “past but unknown aspect” but the question is whether I should.

Maybe I'm missing something here. I don't think there is ambiguity: ἐθαύμασεν -> Aorist ἐθαύμαζεν -> Imperfect

Yes, sorry, you're correct and I'll get it fixed in the database. I was more musing on the general question of ambiguity in the morphology (as this is a case where knowledge of the stem is needed) but overapplied it in this case.
