Exegesis
The copular clause touto estin to sōma mou {τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ σῶμά μου | toû-tó é-stin tò sô-má mou} places the demonstrative touto as subject and to sōma mou as the predicate nominative, closely identifying the bread just given with His own body. In translation, the genitive absolute is rendered as a temporal clause (“while/as they were eating”), and the participial sequence is expressed with finite verbs plus participles to preserve the flow of preparatory actions leading to the interpretive saying over the bread.
Root and etymology
artosalpha–rho–tau–omicron–sigma
“bread, loaf”
In context — Mark 14:22
And while they were eating, He took bread and, having blessed, He broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take; this is My body .”
