SIBI-P1 Translation G1774-04
dwelling within
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active participle, nominative feminine singular (Gr,V,PPA,NFS); denotes an ongoing act of residing within, agreeing with a feminine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active participle conveys ongoing action, and the compound verb emphasizes residing within rather than merely alongside. "Dwelling within" preserves the internal, continuous sense of the root while matching the feminine singular nominative participial form. |
