Greek NT ὤφθη
Peshitta ܘܐܬܚܙܝܘ
Vulgate apparuit

The Greek aorist passive ὤφθη and Latin perfect apparuit both render 'appeared (to them)'; the Peshitta fuses the conjunction and verb into a single inflected form ܘܐܬܚܙܝܘ (Ethpaal 'and they appeared'), so the conjunction and verb are realised together in one token while Greek and Latin separate them.

Greek NT σὺν
Peshitta ܘܡܘܫܐ
Vulgate cum

Greek σύν and Latin cum are prepositions governing Moses ('Elijah with Moses'); the Peshitta instead coordinates the two names with the conjunction ܘ ('Elijah and Moses'), turning a comitative phrase into a simple coordination — a recurring Syriac stylistic preference.

Greek NT Μωϋσεῖ
Peshitta ܘܡܘܫܐ
Vulgate Moyse

The proper noun Moses is shared, but the Peshitta token ܘܡܘܫܐ carries the prefixed coordinating conjunction (see prior group), whereas Greek Μωϋσεῖ and Latin Moyse stand as bare datives/ablatives governed by the preposition.

Greek NT καὶ
Vulgate et erant

Greek and Latin mark the second clause with the conjunction καί / et; the Vulgate additionally inserts a colon (token 6) before the conjunction, a Clementine editorial punctuation that segments the verse and has no counterpart in the Greek or Syriac.

Greek NT ἦσαν συλλαλοῦντες
Peshitta ܟܕ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ
Vulgate loquentes cum

Greek (ἦσαν συλλαλοῦντες) and Latin (erant loquentes) both use a periphrastic imperfect, 'were talking'; the Peshitta uses the subordinating particle ܟܕ ('while') plus the active participle ܡܡܠܠܝܢ, expressing simultaneous circumstantial action rather than a finite periphrastic — a construction-level divergence yielding the same durative sense.

Greek NT τῷ Ἰησοῦ
Peshitta ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ
Vulgate Jesu

Greek encodes the addressee with a dative article + name (τῷ Ἰησοῦ), expressing 'talking with Jesus'; both the Peshitta (ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ) and Latin (cum Jesu) make the comitative explicit with a preposition, a more analytic rendering of the Greek dative of association.
