breathing

Morphological NotesVerb, present active participle, accusative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,AMS); denotes ongoing action modifying a masculine singular noun in the accusative case.
Rendering RationaleThe present active participle conveys ongoing action, and the accusative masculine singular form describes a masculine singular entity in the act of breathing or blowing. “Breathing” preserves the core sense of moving air while reflecting the participial aspect.
