SIBI-P1 Translation G1555-01
he/she might fully recount
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (imperfective aspect), middle voice (deponent), subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the present subjunctive ("might recount") with imperfective aspect, and preserves the root sense of leading a narrative out thoroughly (ἐκ + διηγέομαι). The middle form is deponent, carrying active meaning without requiring reflexive wording in English. |
