you might eat
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 2nd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, second person singular, conveys a simple, undefined act of eating viewed as potential or contingent. "You might eat" preserves both the root meaning of consuming food and the subjunctive mood’s sense of possibility. |
