they may remain

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person plural.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active subjunctive, third person plural, expresses a simple or complete act viewed as a whole with potential or contingency; "they may remain" preserves the root sense of sustained presence while reflecting the subjunctive mood and plural subject.
