SIBI-P1 Translation G1172-02
I may dine
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 1st person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, first person singular, expresses a simple or potential action: "that I may dine" or "I may dine." "Dine" preserves the specific root sense of taking the principal meal rather than the general idea of eating. |
