SIBI-P1 Translation G3007-03
is lacking
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense, middle voice (intransitive/passive sense), indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present tense conveys an ongoing state, and the middle/passive form functions intransitively here, expressing the condition of being left or lacking. "Is lacking" preserves the root idea of absence or deficiency inherent in λείπ- while reflecting third person singular present indicative form. |
