      • προκόπτον.
      • But be aware that if you're planning on getting this for a tattoo or something, it doesn't mean "One who is progressing." It's not actually a noun at all, but a participle, and the above is the neuter version, not the masculine.
      • as a verb it's in the past tense, "I was progressing."
      • if you use the participle version as a noun, it'd be something more like "this thing that's progressing."
      • If you're a male looking for something that says "Someone progressing," then you want προκόπτων. If you're a female, προκόπτουσα.
      • If you're looking for something more like "progress on a journey," then it's προκοπή.
      • If you want just "I am progressing" then it's προκόπτω.
      • Also be aware that if you are in fact asking for tattoo purposes that "προκόπτω" only means "I progress" metaphorically, but literally means "cutting your way forward," so putting it on your forearm would probably be a bad idea.
