| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, infinitive mood. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active infinitive conveys the action of actively causing something to be seen or perceived. "To show" preserves the core δεικ- sense of making something visible or evident, while the infinitive form naturally reflects the verbal noun form in English. |
