Greek NT ἐνδιδύσκουσιν
Peshitta ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ
Vulgate induunt

Greek ἐνδιδύσκουσιν (3rd plural finite verb) and Latin induunt are matched by the Syriac single inflected form ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ, which incorporates both the conjunction ('and'), the verb (l-b-sh, 'to clothe'), and the 3rd-masculine-singular object suffix ('him'). The Syriac thus collapses what the Greek and Latin express analytically with a separate object pronoun.

Greek NT αὐτὸν
Vulgate eum

The accusative object αὐτὸν / eum ('him') is rendered in Syriac not as a free pronoun but as the verbal suffix on ܘܐܠܒܫܘܗܝ; there is no discrete Peshitta token to align, reflecting the synthetic morphology of Syriac.

Greek NT πλέξαντες
Peshitta ܘܓܕܠܘ
Vulgate plectentes

Greek and Latin position the participle πλέξαντες / plectentes ('having twisted/plaited') after the main verb of placing, whereas the Syriac fronts ܘܓܕܠܘ (g-d-l, 'and they plaited') as a coordinate finite verb before the act of placing. Syriac favors paratactic coordinate verbs over the Greek subordinating aorist participle.
