SIBI-P1 G1410-02

they might be able

Morphological NotesVerb, present middle optative, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,OPM3,,P,). The optative mood expresses potential or contingent possibility; the middle form is deponent with active meaning.
Rendering RationaleThe verb δύναμαι denotes inherent ability or power. The present tense conveys ongoing or general capability, the middle voice (deponent in form) reflects personal participation in the state of ability, and the optative mood expresses potentiality or possibility. Thus, "they might be able" preserves both the root sense of capability and the third-person plural present middle optative form.
