SIBI-P1 G1210-16
to be binding
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active infinitive (Gr,V,NPA). Present tense conveys ongoing or continuous action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; infinitive mood expresses verbal action abstractly ("to..."). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "to be binding" preserves the core sense of δέω as "to bind" while reflecting the present active infinitive form (ongoing action, active voice). The infinitive mood is conveyed by "to," and the present aspect is expressed with "be binding," highlighting continuous or characteristic action. |
