SIBI-P1 G191-14
the hearing-one
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NMS). Present tense conveys ongoing or continuous action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; participle functions adjectivally or substantivally; nominative masculine singular agrees with a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἀκούων is a present active participle, nominative masculine singular, indicating an ongoing action performed by a male subject. "The hearing-one" preserves the continuous aspect of the present tense, the active voice (the subject performs the hearing), and the masculine singular nominative form, while keeping the semantic connection to the root idea of hearing. |
