SIBI-P1 Translation G4126-03

sailing

Morphological NotesVerb, present active participle; attested as nominative masculine singular (πλέων) and accusative neuter singular (πλέον). Present tense indicates ongoing action; active voice indicates the subject performs the sailing.
Rendering RationaleThe present active participle conveys ongoing action, so "sailing" preserves the continuous aspect of moving over water by vessel. The participial form functions adjectivally or substantivally while retaining the active sense of performing the voyage.
