SIBI-P1 G2980-35
the speaking one
| Morphological Notes | Gr,V,PPA,NMS = verb, present tense (ongoing), active voice, participle; nominative masculine singular. Functions substantivally: "the one who is speaking." |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "the speaking one" reflects the present active participle (ongoing action) and nominative masculine singular form, indicating a specific male subject characterized by the act of speaking. It preserves the root sense of audible utterance inherent in λαλέω, distinguishing it from more content-focused verbs like λέγω. |
