I will inscribe upon
| Morphological Notes | Verb; future tense, active voice, indicative mood, first person singular — expresses a definite future action performed by the speaker. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of ἐπί (upon) + γράφω (to write), expressing deliberate inscription onto a surface. The future active indicative, first person singular, is reflected in "I will inscribe," indicating a definite forthcoming action performed by the speaker. |
