SIBI-P1 G1372-07

the one who is thirsting

Morphological NotesVerb, present active participle, accusative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,AMS). The form denotes an ongoing state of thirst, describing a masculine singular referent functioning as the direct object.
Rendering RationaleThe present active participle conveys ongoing action, so "is thirsting" preserves the continuous aspect. Rendering it as "the one" reflects the masculine singular participle functioning substantivally, while the accusative case indicates it serves as the object within its clause.
