SIBI-P1 Translation G4295-04
it lies before
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense, middle (deponent) voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular; denotes an ongoing state of being situated or placed before. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the compound sense of πρό (before) + κεῖμαι (to lie, be situated), preserving the present indicative sense of ongoing state. The middle form is deponent, carrying an active meaning, thus "it lies before" conveys the verb’s inherent state without adding reflexive force. |
