SIBI-P1 Translation G1125-19
may be written
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing aspect), passive voice, subjunctive mood, third person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present passive subjunctive, third person singular, conveys a potential or desired action upon the subject, hence "may be written." The passive preserves the sense of being inscribed or recorded rather than actively writing. |
