SIBI-P1 Translation G5612-01
roaring
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense, middle voice (deponent), participle, nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle participle nominative masculine singular denotes an ongoing action, "roaring," describing one who is producing a loud, resonant cry. Though middle in form, the verb is deponent and carries active force, so the simple participial rendering preserves both aspect and voice. |
