they are deliberating among themselves

Morphological NotesVerb, present tense, middle voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural; denotes ongoing action performed with self-involvement.
Rendering RationaleThe present tense conveys ongoing action ("are deliberating"), and the middle voice reflects internal or self-involved reasoning, hence "among themselves." The rendering preserves the root sense of reasoning something through thoroughly.
