SIBI-P1 Translation G2147-36
we found
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, first person plural (Gr,V,IAA1,,P,). |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, first person plural, denotes a completed action performed by "we." "We found" preserves the root sense of discovering or obtaining and reflects the simple past, active force of the aorist indicative. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
we may find
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The verb is subjunctive aorist, expressing potential or purpose ('we may find'), not past indicative ('we found'). This corrects the tense and mood for context. |
