SIBI-P1 Translation G3195-20
of the one about to be
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, genitive feminine singular (Gr,V,PPA,GFS); denotes an ongoing state of being about to or destined to. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle expresses ongoing imminence or expectancy, and the genitive feminine singular form requires a rendering such as "of the one about to be," preserving both the futurity/imminence of the root and the genitive feminine morphology. |
