SIBI-P1 Translation G1453-09
raises up
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing or characteristic action), active voice, indicative mood, third person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active indicative, third person singular form denotes an ongoing or characteristic action performed by a subject: "he/she/it raises up." "Raises up" preserves the causative force of the active voice and reflects the root sense of bringing someone or something into an upright, awakened, or restored state. |
