SIBI-P1 Translation G4052-10
abounding
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), active voice, participle; accusative neuter singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action—"abounding"—reflecting a state of existing in excess or overflowing. As accusative neuter singular, it functions adjectivally to describe a neuter singular referent while preserving the root idea of exceeding ordinary measure. |
