SIBI-P1 G4238-10
to be-practicing (to be habitually carrying out)
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active infinitive (Gr,V,NPA); present tense indicates ongoing or habitual aspect; active voice; infinitive mood expressing verbal action in non-finite form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active infinitive conveys ongoing or customary action, not a single act. "To be-practicing" reflects the present tense’s continuous aspect and preserves the root sense of habitual or repeated activity inherent in πράσσω, distinguishing it from a one-time "doing." |
