narrans

Narrans is the present active participle of narro, narrare in Latin, meaning “narrating” or “relating.” In classical Latin usage it functions both as an adjective and, when nominalized, as a noun meaning “a narrator” or “storyteller.”

As a participle, narrans is declined like a third-declension present participle. The masculine nominative singular is narrans; its other forms include narrantis (genitive singular), narranti (dative singular), narrantem (accusative singular), narrante (ablative singular); and the plural narrantes, narrantium, narrantibus, narrantes, narrantibus. The neuter forms align with neuter adjective endings. In practice, narrans typically modifies a noun (for example, narrans fabulas = the one narrating tales).

As a noun, narrans can denote “a narrator” or “storyteller,” especially in grammars and glossaries that treat participles as nominalized forms. The noun sense is often conveyed by context or capitalization rather than through a distinct, separate inflection pattern.

In modern linguistic reference, narrans is primarily of interest as a morphological example in Latin grammar and as a historical usage note; it is not a widely used modern lexical entry outside philological discussion.
