γινόμενον
gínomai
happening
to become, to come into being, to happen; primarily denotes the process of transition from one state to another, the coming into existence or reality of something that was not previously so. In various contexts, it can also mean to occur, take place, arise, develop, or change; sometimes serves as a circumlocution for 'to be' when indicating the process or result of becoming, rather than simple existence. Used of events, states, and sometimes of persons or things coming to be in a particular role or status.

SIBI-P1 Translation G1096-69
becoming
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense, middle voice, participle; occurring in neuter accusative singular, neuter nominative singular, masculine accusative singular, and genitive plural forms. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle participle denotes an ongoing process of coming into being or transition. "Becoming" preserves the dynamic, process-oriented force of γίνομαι and reflects the middle voice nuance of entering into a state. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
happening
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Becoming' is a root-faithful rendering, but in context (modifying 'nothing out of place happening to him'), 'happening' better conveys the idea of occurrence. Adjusted for contextual sense while respecting the word's meaning. |
