SIBI-P1 Translation G1097-29
those coming to know
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,NMP): ongoing active action, functioning adjectivally or substantivally, masculine plural subject form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle expresses ongoing action, so "coming to know" reflects the process-oriented sense of the root. The nominative masculine plural participle is rendered substantivally as "those," preserving number and participial force. |
