SIBI-P1 G853-02
he/she/it is rendering unseen
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, indicative mood, third person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἀφανίζω derives from ἀφανής (“unseen, not visible”) and carries the active sense of causing something to become unseen or to disappear. The present active indicative, third person singular form indicates an ongoing or characteristic action performed by “he/she/it,” hence “is rendering unseen.” |
