Maybe your friend was confused by the genitive absolute, and didn't
recognize that AUTWN was the subject of LUONTWN and tried to translate the
phrase "untying their colt" (or something similar) instead of "as they were
untying the colt".
Otherwise, if there really is some anomaly, I'm missing it as well.
