they might come
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist subjunctive active, 3rd person plural, expresses a simple or complete movement viewed as a whole, contingent or potential. "They might come" preserves the subjunctive mood and plural subject while retaining the core sense of movement toward or arrival. |
