bringing upon

Morphological NotesVerb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS) — indicating an ongoing action performed by a masculine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering reflects the compound sense of ἐπί (upon) + φέρω (to bring/carry), conveying the act of bringing or laying something upon another. The present active participle nominative masculine singular is expressed with the ongoing verbal form “bringing,” preserving its active and continuous force.
