SIBI-P1 Translation G1097-18
may come to know
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing process), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active subjunctive, third person singular, expresses potential or intended action. "May come to know" preserves the process-oriented sense of acquiring knowledge inherent in the root γνω- and reflects the subjunctive mood’s contingent nuance. |
