SIBI-P1 Translation G1095-01
you may grow old
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 2nd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive 2nd singular expresses a simple or potential occurrence of entering into old age. "You may grow old" preserves the inchoative force of the verb (entering the state of old age) and reflects the subjunctive mood’s contingency. |
