Exegesis
The modal verb dunatai {δύναται | dýnatai} ‘is able’ takes the aorist infinitive koinosai {κοινῶσαι | koinôsai} ‘to defile’, forming a clause of potential inability.
In context — Mark 7:15
Nothing outside a person that enters him can defile him; rather, what issues from a person is what renders him impure.
