SIBI-P1 Translation G4222-08
may cause to drink
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, 3rd singular, is rendered with "may" to reflect subjunctive mood and simple aspect. "Cause to drink" preserves the verb’s causative force derived from πίνω (to drink). |
