SIBI-P1 Translation G2521-11
the one being seated
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present middle participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPM,NMS); expresses ongoing state of sitting, functioning adjectivally or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle participle nominative masculine singular denotes a man in the ongoing state of being seated. The middle voice reflects a stative or self-involved condition, so "being seated" preserves the root sense of settled sitting or remaining. |
