SIBI-P1 Translation G4496-08
of those flinging
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, genitive masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,GMP): ongoing action, active voice, functioning adjectivally/substantivally in the genitive plural masculine. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle denotes ongoing action, and the genitive masculine plural form indicates "of those" performing the action. "Flinging" preserves the forceful, sudden nuance inherent in the root ῥιπ-. |
