Early Modern English

I think it can be made grammatically correct just by adding an "if". I'm basing this off the fact that I've found some examples of "if he/she/it mean" in some EME texts:

... if he mean as he speaketh.
The Historie of Great Britain Under the Conquests of the Romans, Saxons, Danes and Normans, 1623

And if it mean the united Kingdom of Great Britain, many think it must infer an owning and acknowledgement of the Treaty of Union...
The Oath of Abjuration Displayed, 1712

If it mean a just action, surely a just action is no indulgence. If it mean an unjust action...
A Narrative of Facts, Relating to a Prosecution for High Treason, 1795

I'm pretty sure this is just the subjunctive, which is still sometimes used today (despite how weird it may sound).

Judging from other examples I found, it would also be OK to say "if it means", but this would lose some of the archaic flavor ;)
