SIBI-P1 G3004-76

the saying (thing)

Morphological NotesVerb; present active participle; nominative neuter singular (Gr,V,PAP,NNS). Present tense conveys ongoing or contemporaneous action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; neuter singular nominative allows the participle to function substantivally as "the saying."
Rendering RationaleThe participial form is rendered as "the saying (thing)" to preserve the root sense of λέγω as "to lay forth in words" while reflecting the present active participle in the nominative neuter singular. The neuter singular participle functions substantivally, indicating "that which is being laid forth in words."
