gínomai
to become, to come into being, to happen; primarily denotes the process of transition from one state to another, the coming into existence or reality of something that was not previously so. In various contexts, it can also mean to occur, take place, arise, develop, or change; sometimes serves as a circumlocution for 'to be' when indicating the process or result of becoming, rather than simple existence. Used of events, states, and sometimes of persons or things coming to be in a particular role or status.

may it come to be
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple occurrence), middle voice (deponent/reflexive nuance), optative mood (wish or potential), 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist optative expresses a wish for a simple occurrence, and the middle form reflects the verb’s inherent middle/deponent character. "May it come to be" preserves the core sense of transition into reality rather than static existence. |
