SIBI-P1 G120-01
they may be losing heart
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present active subjunctive; third person plural (Gr,V,SPA3,,P,). Present tense indicates ongoing action; subjunctive mood conveys possibility, purpose, or exhortation; active voice; plural subject "they." |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines the negative prefix ἀ- with θυμός (spirit, passion), meaning "to be without spirit." The present active subjunctive, third person plural, is reflected by "they may be losing," expressing ongoing action with potential or purpose nuance. |
