SIBI-P1 Translation G757-02
of those ruling
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing action), middle voice, participle; genitive, neuter, plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle participle conveys ongoing action with a reflexive or self-involved nuance, here functioning substantivally. The genitive neuter plural form is reflected by "of those," preserving both the participial and genitive force. |
