SIBI-P1 Translation G1890-01

foaming upon

Morphological NotesVerb, present active participle, nominative neuter plural; describing plural neuter entities characterized by ongoing action.
Rendering RationaleThe present active participle denotes ongoing action, and the compound verb intensifies the image of foam being emitted upon a surface. "Foaming upon" preserves the literal root sense while allowing for figurative extension of outwardly exuding what is within.
