SIBI-P1 Translation G308-05
he may look up
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, third person singular, expresses a simple or complete act viewed as a whole with potential or purpose nuance; "he may look up" preserves both the upward directional force of ἀνά and the seeing root βλέπω without imposing contextual interpretation. |
