Mark 6 : 19

Greek employs article + δέ + proper name (ἡ δὲ Ἡρῳδιάς); Peshitta mirrors this with pronoun + particle + name (ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܗܪܘܕܝܐ); Vulgate places the proper name first without article (Herodias autem), reflecting Latin's lack of definite articles and preference for name-initial constructions.

Greek ἐνεῖχεν (imperfect of ἐνέχω, 'to hold a grudge against') is rendered by Peshitta ܠܚܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ (periphrastic construction with participle 'hostile' + copula + prepositional phrase) and Vulgate insidiabatur illi ('was plotting against him'), each tradition selecting a distinct lexeme to convey sustained hostility.

Greek uses finite verb + accusative + infinitive (ἤθελεν αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι); Peshitta employs periphrastic construction with copula ܗܘܬ + infinitive ܠܡܩܛܠܗ (with pronominal suffix); Vulgate uses finite verb + infinitive (volebat occidere eum), with the object pronoun following rather than preceding the infinitive as in Greek.

Greek uses negated imperfect οὐκ ἠδύνατο; Peshitta employs periphrastic negation with participle ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܐ ܗܘܬ (negative + active participle + copula); Vulgate uses simple negated imperfect nec poterat, all expressing the same durative past inability but through different syntactic strategies.
