unloading itself

Morphological NotesVerb, present tense (ongoing action), middle voice (reflexive/self-interest), participle, nominative neuter singular.
Rendering RationaleThe present middle participle denotes an ongoing action performed with reference to oneself; thus "unloading itself" captures both the reflexive middle voice and the active sense of removing a load.
