SIBI-P1 Translation G2608-01
they might be shattered
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), passive voice (subject acted upon), subjunctive mood (potential/contingent), 3rd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist tense conveys a simple, complete act of breaking, and the passive voice indicates that the subject receives the action. The subjunctive mood (3rd person plural) is reflected by "might be," preserving the sense of potential or intended violent fracturing inherent in the root. |
