Re: USAGE: 'born'

I read the following in a recent copy of an
American magazine which is usually considered
quite literate:

"...the city is still becoming. There may be arguments
as to what it's becoming, but no one can reasonably
doubt that the place is still giving birth to itself."

"Giving birth to itself".  What kind of verb-form is
_that_?

I'm not sure I could express it, at this point, in rtemmu.
How would other con/nat langs do it?
