SIBI-P1 Translation G4098-11

will fall

Morphological NotesVerb; future tense, middle voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IFM3,,S,).
Rendering RationaleThe future middle indicative, third person singular form denotes a coming act of falling or descending. The middle voice here functions in a deponent-like way without strong reflexive force, so "will fall" preserves the core motion from higher to lower in a future sense.
