SIBI-P1 G2827-04

he/she/it may incline

Morphological NotesVerb; present tense (ongoing aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood (potential/contingent), 3rd person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe verb κλίνω carries the core idea of causing something to slope, lean, or bend. The present active subjunctive (3rd person singular) expresses a potential or contingent ongoing action, hence “may incline,” preserving both the active voice and the aspect of continuing inclination.
