mentioning
- 1Present participle and gerund of mention.
He walked out the door without mentioning where he was headed.
The reviewer is mentioning several errors that the earlier draft had missed.
Note
An -ing form that does two jobs. After be it builds the progressive (is mentioning several errors). Elsewhere it acts as a verbal noun that still takes an object (without mentioning where he was headed). It can also become a countable noun with a plural, as in the "casual mentionings" of James Anthony Pritchett's Friends for Life, Friends for Death (2007). The plain noun mentions covers the same ground more simply.
