SIBI-P1 Translation G5342-28
bearing
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, accusative feminine singular (Gr,V,PPA,AFS); denotes ongoing action performed by a feminine singular referent in the accusative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action, and the accusative feminine singular form indicates it modifies a feminine object. "Bearing" preserves the core root sense of carrying or bringing in an active, continuous manner. |
