Morphological NotesVerb; present tense (ongoing action), middle voice, participle; genitive, neuter, plural.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
