SIBI-P1 Translation G483-03
speaks against
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, third person singular form denotes an ongoing or characteristic action: "he/she/it speaks against." This preserves the compound sense of ἀντί (against) + λέγω (to speak), emphasizing verbal opposition. |
