SIBI-P1 Translation G1961-12
of those persisting
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, genitive masculine plural; denotes ongoing action performed by a group, functioning adjectivally in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing, continuous action, and the genitive masculine plural form requires a rendering such as "of those persisting." This preserves the root sense of remaining or continuing steadfastly. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
while we were staying
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'of those persisting' misses the temporal participle idea and the fact that this is about 'we' staying; adjusted rendering to match 'while we were staying' as appropriate for the narrative context. |
