Notes that identify more than one possible meaning
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
When writing a translation note that identifies more than one possible meaning or interpretation, the recommended approach is to introduce those with the phrase “This could refer to” with no punctuation following it.

When writing a translation note that identifies more than one possible meaning or interpretation, the recommended approach is to introduce those with the phrase “This could refer to” with a colon following it. (We do not want to suggest that we are identifying all possible meanings, so we are no longer saying, “This could mean one of two things” or “one of three things,” etc.)
Each interpretation should be numbered and have a discussion that is an incomplete sentence by itself and requires the opening “this could refer to” to make it a complete sentence. We will not use sentence capitalization after the numbers. The recommended interpretation is always listed first, and is modeled in the UST. If appropriate, each interpretation should offer an alternate translation.

To the phrase *“the kingdom of God has come to you”* in Luke 11:20
If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun \*\*kingdom\*\* with a verb such as “rule.” This could refer to (1) the kingdom of God having arrived in this place, that is, its activities are happening here. Alternate translation: “God is ruling in this area” (2) the kingdom of God having arrived in time, that is, it is already beginning.
