SIBI-P1 G25-02
to be-loving
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active infinitive (Gr,V,NPA): present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, infinitive mood functioning as a verbal noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active infinitive denotes ongoing or characteristic action, so "to be-loving" reflects the continuous aspect of the present tense and the active voice. This rendering preserves the root idea of devoted, valuing love while expressing the verbal nature of the infinitive ("to..."). |
