that being owed
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense, passive voice, participle; accusative, neuter, singular (Gr,V,PPP,ANS). |
| Rendering Rationale | The present passive participle conveys something in a state of being owed or under obligation. The accusative neuter singular form indicates a single thing as the object, thus "that being owed" preserves both participial aspect and grammatical features. |
