pluperfect subjunctive passive in latin!?

How would I translate the word portarer, in other words what does it actually mean? I know that it is the pluperfect subjunctive passive but that is all. Could someone put it in a sentence for me and translate it... that would really help. Thanks

    portarer - imperfect passive subjunctive

    There are several ways to translate imperfect subjunctive, depending on the context. Here are a few:

    *** portarer - when I was (being) carried

    ut portarer - in order to be carried, that I was carried

    ne portarer - to avoid being carried

    ut non portarer - that I was not carried

    si portarer - if I were carried

    Pluperfect passive subjunctive would be "portatus essem".
