Mood optative¶
Glossary¶
The optative mood indicates that the speaker is referring to the verbal action as a contingent possibility (even less assured than the subjunctive mood) (e.g., he might eat).
Μηκέτι ἐκ σοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μηδεὶς καρπὸν φάγοι. (Mrk 11:14)
May no one ever again eat fruit from you!
