To be, to exist, to live; the core copulative verb indicating existence, presence, or identity. Functions as the primary verb for expressing 'being' or existence, used to connect a subject with a predicate or to indicate presence in a particular state or condition. Semantic range includes factual existence ('to exist, to be'), locative or situational presence ('to be present, to be in a place or condition'), identity statements ('to be [something/someone]'), and, at times, expressing equivalence, belonging, or occurrence ('to mean, to signify, to occur, to take place').

| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, dative masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,DMP); expressing ongoing state of being, functioning substantivally in the dative plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing existence or state of being, and the dative masculine plural form indicates reference 'to/for those' characterized by being. The rendering preserves both the participial force and the dative plural morphology. |
