SIBI-P1 Translation G560-01
ceasing to hope
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine plural (Gr,V,PPA,NMP): describing masculine plural subjects engaged in the ongoing act of giving up hope. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys an ongoing action, and the compound verb denotes the withdrawal or removal of hope. "Ceasing to hope" preserves both the durative present sense and the core idea of relinquishing expectation. |
