SIBI-P1 G3306-13
may he/she/it remain; remain yourself!
| Morphological Notes | Forms include present active subjunctive, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,SPA3,,S,) and present middle imperative, 2nd person singular (Gr,V,MPA2,,S,). The present tense indicates ongoing or continuous action; the subjunctive expresses possibility or contingency; the imperative gives a direct command; the middle voice carries reflexive or personal-interest nuance. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of continued presence or abiding inherent in μένω. “May he/she/it remain” reflects the present active subjunctive, third person singular (ongoing potential action), while “remain yourself!” captures the present middle imperative, second person singular, conveying a command with personal involvement or self-engagement. |
