Morphological NotesVerb, present active participle, nominative neuter plural (Gr,V,PPA,NNP); describing plural neuter entities in an ongoing state of shining.
Rendering RationaleThe present active participle conveys ongoing action, and the root στίλβ- denotes a bright, dazzling shine or flash. "Brilliantly shining" preserves both the vivid intensity of the root and the continuous aspect of the participle.
