SIBI-P1 Translation G906-04
you may cast
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, second person plural, expresses a simple, undefined act that the group may perform. "You may cast" preserves the root sense of deliberate throwing or placing while reflecting the subjunctive mood’s potential or intended action. |
