descending
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, accusative feminine singular (Gr,V,PPA,AFS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action, and the accusative feminine singular form indicates it modifies a feminine singular object. "Descending" preserves the root sense of moving downward while reflecting the participial aspect. |
