SIBI-P1 Translation G1686-02

the one dipping into liquid

Morphological NotesVerb, present tense, middle voice, participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPM,NMS); denotes ongoing action with self-involvement, functioning substantivally.
Rendering RationaleThe present middle participle nominative masculine singular denotes an ongoing action performed with personal involvement: one who is dipping or immersing into liquid. "Dipping into liquid" preserves the core βαπτ- sense of inserting into fluid, while "the one" reflects the substantival participle form.
