Translate: “the blanking noun;” “the noun which blanks.” 2.Substantive (# 245) – see Lesson 30 Has article; stands in place of understood noun. Translate: “the blanking one;” “the one who blanks.” 3.Circumstantial (# 254, 256) No article; makes additional statement. First attempt: “Blanking/having blanked.” Expansion: “While/after/because he blanked,” etc.

3. Participle Usage – cont. 4.Genitive absolute (# 265) No article (like circumstantial). Participle and noun (or pronoun) in genitive case. Disconnected from main clause. Translation – similar to circumstantial:  First attempt: Participial phrase.  Expansion into subordinate clause: While/after/because, etc.  Noun agreeing with part. becomes “subject.” (Noun in gen. case is translated as subject!)  Do NOT translate the genitive as “of”!!!!!!!!!
