SIBI-P1 G2681-02
to be-camping-down
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active infinitive (Gr,V,NPA); present tense indicates ongoing or durative aspect, active voice shows the subject performs the action, infinitive expresses the verbal idea "to camp down." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines κατά (down) with σκηνόω (to tent, to dwell in a tent), conveying the act of pitching a tent down or settling in a place. Rendering it "to be-camping-down" preserves both the tent/dwelling imagery and the present active infinitive form, reflecting ongoing or characteristic action rather than a completed act. |
