SIBI-P1 Translation G2840-06

things rendering common

Morphological NotesVerb; present active participle; nominative neuter plural (Gr,V,PPA,NNP)
Rendering RationaleThe present active participle conveys ongoing action, and the nominative neuter plural form indicates "things" performing the action. "Rendering common" preserves the causative sense of making something ordinary or ritually profane rather than set apart.
