one invoking
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), middle voice (self-involved/reflexive nuance), participle; accusative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle participle denotes an ongoing action performed with self-involvement or vested interest. "One invoking" preserves the root sense of calling upon or appealing while reflecting the masculine accusative singular participial form. |
