SIBI-P1 G599-18
to be dying-off
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, infinitive mood. The form denotes the action of dying as a process rather than a completed event. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of ἀπό ("away/off") and θνῄσκω ("to die"), conveying the idea of dying away or off. The present active infinitive (NPA) is reflected by "to be dying-off," which maintains the infinitive form ("to") and the present aspect of ongoing or processive action. |
