SIBI-P1 Translation G5316-14
will make itself visible
| Morphological Notes | Verb; future tense, middle voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IFM3,,S,). |
| Rendering Rationale | The future middle indicative (3rd singular) expresses that the subject will, in its own involvement, bring itself into visibility. "Make itself visible" preserves the root idea of bringing to light while reflecting the middle voice’s reflexive nuance. |
