SIBI-P1 G4160-56
the one who is doing/making
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS). It functions substantivally, describing a male subject characterized by ongoing action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle ποιῶν denotes ongoing or characteristic action. Rendering it as "the one who is doing/making" preserves the continuous present aspect, the active voice, and the nominative masculine singular form, while maintaining the broad productive sense of the root ποιέω (to make or do). |
