SIBI-P1 Translation G4601-08
may be silent
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, third person singular, expresses a simple, undefined act viewed as a whole with modal force; "may be silent" preserves the verbal idea of refraining from speech and reflects the subjunctive mood without adding context. |
