SIBI-P1 Translation G5574-04
lying
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense (ongoing action), middle voice (self-involved/reflexive nuance), participle, nominative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle participle nominative masculine plural denotes ongoing action performed with self-involvement: "lying" or "engaging in falsehood." The rendering preserves the root sense of deliberate false speech and reflects the participial, plural masculine form. |
