| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS); denotes ongoing action functioning adjectivally or substantivally. |

"The one chewing" preserves the continuous aspect of the present tense and emphasizes the physical act of mastication inherent in τρώγω rather than general eating. |
