SIBI-P1 Translation G709-02
he might dine
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, third person singular, is rendered with "might" to reflect the subjunctive mood and simple verbal aspect. "Dine" captures the root sense of taking a principal meal without tying it to a specific time context. |
