SIBI-P1 Translation G4013-03
leading around
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS); denotes ongoing action by a male subject functioning adjectivally or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle nominative masculine singular conveys an ongoing action performed by a male subject. "Leading around" preserves the compound sense of peri- (around) and agō (to lead), maintaining both the active voice and continuous aspect. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
going about
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'leading around' does not fit this context. Here, the participle refers reflexively to the blind man moving about. 'Going about' or 'wandering about' matches the sense per SILEX. |
