SIBI-P1 Translation G591-11
giving back
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense, active voice, participle; accusative neuter singular (Gr,V,PPA,ANS). Denotes ongoing active action functioning adjectivally or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle expresses ongoing action, and the compound root (ἀπό + δίδωμι) emphasizes giving back or returning what is due. "Giving back" preserves both the core sense of giving and the directional nuance of restitution inherent in the verb. |
