τίθημι
tithemi
lay down
a prolonged form of a primary (which is used only as alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly, in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from ἵστημι, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while κεῖμαι is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate):--+ advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.

SIBI-P1 G5087-38
I am placing
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active indicative, 1st person singular (Gr,V,IPA1,,S,). Denotes continuous or ongoing action performed by the speaker. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "I am placing" preserves the core idea of τίθημι as putting or laying something in position. The present active indicative, first person singular form (IPA1 S) is reflected by "I am" (ongoing present action) and the active sense of personally performing the act of placing. |
