SIBI-P1 G659-03
the ones placing away
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine plural (Gr,V,PAM,NMP). Present tense indicates ongoing action; active voice shows the subjects perform the action; participle functions adjectivally or substantivally; nominative masculine plural agrees with a masculine plural subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root components ἀπό (away from) and τίθημι (to place or set), preserving the concrete sense of "placing away." As a present active participle in the nominative masculine plural, it is rendered "the ones placing away," expressing ongoing action and matching the masculine plural subject form. |
