Greek NT ἔχει

Peshitta ܐܝܬ ܠܗ

Vulgate habet

Greek and Latin express possession verbally (ἔχει / habet, 'has'); Syriac uses the existential particle ܐܝܬ plus the dative ܠܗ ('there is to him'), the standard Semitic possessive construction. The meaning is identical but the syntax is fundamentally different.

Greek NT ὦτα

Peshitta ܐܕܢܐ

Vulgate aures

Greek ὦτα and Latin aures are plural ('ears'); the Syriac ܐܕܢܐ is morphologically ambiguous but typically read as a collective/plural here, with no semantic distinction.

Greek NT ἀκούειν

Peshitta ܕܢܫܡܥ

Vulgate audiendi

Greek uses an epexegetical infinitive (ἀκούειν) and Latin a genitive gerund (audiendi), both expressing purpose ('to hear'); Syriac employs a finite relative-subjunctive clause ܕܢܫܡܥ ('that he may hear'), a typical Syriac idiom for the Greek complementary infinitive.
