SIBI-P1 G1097-33
may come to know (he/she/it; or I)
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist active subjunctive, singular (3rd person in three occurrences; 1st person in one occurrence). The aorist subjunctive often expresses purpose, result, or potential action viewed as a whole. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist tense is reflected by "come to know," highlighting the decisive or ingressive aspect of entering into knowledge rather than ongoing knowing. The subjunctive mood is conveyed by "may," expressing possibility, purpose, or intended result. The active voice and singular person (either 3rd or 1st, as attested) are preserved in the parenthetical personal reference. |
