SIBI-P1 Translation G1321-11
he/she may instruct
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive expresses a simple, undefined act of instruction viewed as a whole, with potential or intended force. "May instruct" preserves the subjunctive mood, while the third-person singular reflects the morphology. |
