SIBI-P1 Translation G2577-02

the one growing weary

Morphological NotesVerb; present active participle; accusative masculine singular — indicating an ongoing action describing a masculine singular object.
Rendering RationaleThe present active participle conveys ongoing action, so "growing weary" reflects continuous becoming tired rather than a completed state. The accusative masculine singular is rendered substantivally as "the one" to preserve its participial force without adding context.
