SIBI-P1 Translation G5394-02
igniting
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, participle; nominative feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action, so "igniting" reflects continuous causing-to-burn. As nominative feminine singular, it describes a feminine singular subject performing the action of setting aflame. |
