SIBI-P1 Translation G1828-01
being drawn out
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect), passive voice, participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of ἐκ (out of) + ἑλκ- (draw/pull), expressing active removal. The present passive participle form is reflected in "being drawn," indicating ongoing action upon the subject, nominative masculine singular. |
