Greek NT Εἴ τις

Peshitta ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ

Vulgate Si quis

Greek and Latin use a conditional protasis with an indefinite pronoun (Εἴ τις / Si quis, 'if anyone'); the Peshitta employs a substantival relative construction ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ('whoever has'), recasting the conditional clause as a headless relative — semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.

Greek NT ἔχει

Peshitta ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ

Vulgate habet

Greek ἔχει and Latin habet express possession with a single transitive verb; Syriac uses the existential particle ܐܝܬ with the dative ܠܗ ('there is to him'), the standard Semitic idiom for predicative possession, hence the difference in token count.

grammar All three attest

Greek NT ὦτα

Peshitta ܐܕܢܐ

Vulgate aures

Greek ὦτα and Latin aures are plural ('ears'), whereas the Syriac ܐܕܢܐ is morphologically the singular/absolute form, a common Syriac idiom for paired body parts treated collectively.

construction All three attest

Greek NT ἀκούειν

Peshitta ܕܢܫܡܥ

Vulgate audiendi

Greek uses the complementary present infinitive ἀκούειν and Latin the gerund of purpose audiendi ('for hearing'); the Peshitta renders this with a finite subordinate clause ܕܢܫܡܥ ('that he may hear'), preferring a verbal clause to the infinitive/gerund construction.

construction All three attest

Greek NT ἀκουέτω

Peshitta ܢܫܡܥ

Vulgate audiat

Greek third-person imperative ἀκουέτω and Latin present subjunctive audiat ('let him hear') are matched by the Syriac imperfect/jussive ܢܫܡܥ; all three convey the same hortatory force despite different morphological means of expressing the third-person command.
