SIBI-P1 G4687-07
the sowing one
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active participle; nominative masculine singular. The participle denotes ongoing action and agrees with a masculine singular noun, often functioning substantivally ("the one who sows"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core agricultural sense of σπείρω as "to sow" or "to scatter seed." As a present active participle nominative masculine singular (PAP NMS), it is expressed as "the sowing one," indicating an ongoing action performed by a masculine singular subject functioning substantivally. |
