SIBI-P1 Translation G1006-03
being pastured
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), passive voice, participle; nominative feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present passive participle denotes an ongoing action received by the subject, thus "being pastured" reflects the continual provision of food or grazing. The passive voice preserves the sense of receiving nourishment rather than actively feeding. |
