let them consider
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), middle voice (deponent, reflexive/engaged), imperative mood, 3rd person plural — "let them …" |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle imperative, third person plural, calls for ongoing or habitual action performed with engaged self-involvement. "Let them consider" preserves the middle voice’s reflective nuance and aligns with the verb’s core sense of forming a judgment or assessment. |
