SIBI-P1 Translation G3522-07
of those fasting
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, genitive masculine plural; indicates ongoing action performed by male subjects, functioning adjectivally or substantivally in the genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle in the genitive masculine plural denotes ongoing action by multiple males, rendered as "of those fasting" to preserve both the continuous aspect and the genitive plural form. "Fasting" reflects the root sense of abstaining from food. |
