SIBI-P1 Translation H1639-05
being diminished
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem, participle (active form with passive sense), masculine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Niphal stem conveys a passive or reflexive sense, and as a masculine singular participle it functions as a verbal adjective. "Being diminished" preserves the root idea of reduction while reflecting the ongoing or resultant passive state. |
