SIBI-P1 Translation G2730-09
those dwelling
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), active voice, participle; nominative masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,NMP). |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle nominative masculine plural denotes ongoing action and functions substantivally, thus "those dwelling" captures both the continuous aspect and the plural masculine nominative form. It preserves the root sense of settled habitation rather than temporary lodging. |
