SIBI-P1 G1125-17
to be writing (inscribing)
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (continuous aspect), active voice, infinitive mood (NPA = present active infinitive). The infinitive expresses the verbal action abstractly as "to be writing." |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active infinitive form conveys ongoing or continuous action in active voice. Rendering it as "to be writing (inscribing)" preserves both the durative aspect of the present tense and the root sense of engraving or inscribing inherent in γράφω. |
