SIBI-P1 Translation G4098-21
of falling things
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active participle; genitive neuter plural (PPA GNP) — indicating ongoing action, describing neuter plural entities in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action (“falling”), and the genitive neuter plural form indicates “of … things.” This rendering preserves the root idea of descending or collapsing while reflecting the participial and genitive plural morphology. |
