| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense, passive voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IPP3,,S,) |
| Rendering Rationale | The present passive indicative, third person singular, denotes an ongoing action received by the subject: it is in the process of being put out or quenched. "Is being extinguished" preserves the root sense of ceasing a burning or active force while reflecting the present passive form. |
