SIBI-P1 G1904-08
of the things coming-upon
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present middle participle, genitive neuter plural (Gr,V,PPM,GNP). The present tense indicates ongoing or unfolding action; the participle functions adjectivally or substantivally; genitive plural neuter modifies or depends on a governing noun; middle voice in this deponent verb carries active force. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of ἐπί (upon) + ἔρχομαι (to come), conveying the idea of something advancing upon or over another. The present participle reflects ongoing action ("coming-upon"), the genitive case is expressed with "of," and the neuter plural is conveyed by "the things." As a middle (deponent) form, the verb carries an active meaning while retaining its middle morphology. |
