SIBI-P1 G4374-17
to be bearing-toward
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active infinitive (Gr,V,NPA). Present tense conveys ongoing or customary aspect; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; infinitive mood expresses the verbal idea abstractly as "to do." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb προσφέρω combines πρός (toward) and φέρω (to bear/carry), literally meaning "to bear toward." Rendering it "to be bearing-toward" preserves the root imagery of carrying something in the direction of another and reflects the present active infinitive form, which conveys ongoing or general action in infinitive aspect. |
