you may, you are allowed to: P. and V. ἔξεστί σοι (infin.), πάρεστί σοι (infin.), or πάρα σοι (infin.), ἔνεστί σοι (infin.).
in wishes: see would that.
you may be right: P. κινδυνεύεις ἀληθῆ λέγειν (Plato, Symposium 205D).
you may never have seen a state governed by a tyrant: P. ὑμεῖς δὲ τάχα οὐδὲ τεθέασθε τυραννουμένην πόλιν (Plato, Leges 711A).
this reproach may perhaps have come extorted by anger: V. ἀλλ' ἦλθε μὲν δὴ τοῦτο τοὔνειδος τάχ' ἄν ὀργῇ βιασθέν (Sophocles, Oedipus Rex 523).
you may get you gone where you will: V. σὺ μὲν κομίζοις ἂν σεαυτὸν ᾗ θέλεις (Sophocles, Antigone 444).
