Notes: As may be noted, in translating θέλησις[a] (25.2: θέλημα), βούλημα[a] (25.4: βούλημα), and εὐδοκία [source selector 000001][b] (25.8: εὐδοκία), there is a tendency to employ verbs rather than nouns. This is true especially in languages outside the Indo-European family of languages. Wanting, desiring, and wishing are essentially psychological events or states and accordingly are most frequently expressed in languages by verbs.
