SIBI-P1 Translation G3195-16
to the one about to
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense, active voice, participle; dative masculine singular (PPA DMS). |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing imminence or intention, and the dative masculine singular is reflected by "to the one." This preserves the root sense of impending or destined action without supplying any specific verb. |
