    **第一項**  元本の確定前においては、根抵当権者は、根抵当権設定者の承諾を得て、その根抵当権の一部譲渡（譲渡人が譲受人と根抵当権を共有するため、これを分割しないで譲り渡すことをいう。以下この節において同じ。）をすることができる。

    Before the principal is fixed, a revolving mortgagee may, with the approval of the mortgagor of the revolving mortgage, effect a partial assignment of the revolving mortgage (meaning assignments of revolving mortgages that the assignor effects without dividing the revolving mortgage in order to co-own the same with the assignee; the same applies in this Section below).
