you might swear an oath
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, subjunctive mood, 2nd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active subjunctive, second person singular, expresses a simple, undefined act viewed as potential or contingent: "you might swear." The rendering preserves the root sense of making a solemn oath while reflecting the subjunctive mood. |
