SIBI-P1 Translation G2064-17
he/she/it may come
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active subjunctive; 3rd person singular (Gr,V,SAA3,,S,) |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive expresses a simple, undefined act of coming as a potential or contingent event. "May come" reflects the subjunctive mood, while third person singular preserves the grammatical form. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
come
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'he/she/it may come' uses a potential mood not present; the Greek is an imperative singular 2nd person: 'come'. Rendering as 'come' preserves grammatical force and matches SILEX. |
