Notes: The semantic domains of σύν[a] (89.107: σύν) and μετα[a] (89.108: μετά) overlap considerably, for in a number of instances essentially the same referential relationship can be expressed either by σύν[a] or by μετά[a]. However, in contexts involving hostility and combat, opposing forces may be spoken of as fighting against one another with μετά[a]. In this type of context the preposition σύν[a] would not be appropriate, since it would suggest those fighting on the same side, not on opposite sides of the conflict.; Attendant circumstances are often expressed in English by participial or gerund phrases.; In RV JN2 1:3 · LV JN2 1:3 · Read together JN2 1:3 χάρις, ἔλεος, and εἰρήνη refer to the events which are experienced by ἡμῶν.; There are no doubt certain subtle distinctions in the meanings of the terms in 83.9: ἀνά / 83.9: εἰς / 83.9: ἐν / 83.9: ἐντός / 83.9: ἐπί / 83.9: μέσος / 83.9: μετά / 83.9: παρά / 83.9: πρός (μέσος[a], ἀνὰ μέσον, ἐντός[a], ἐν[b], μετά[h], εἰς[e], ἐπί[c], πρός[d], παρά[b]). For example, πρός[d] may suggest some kind of interaction or response and παρά[b] may focus upon association, but it is difficult, if not impossible, on the basis of existing contexts to define precisely the differences in meaning.; NEW NOTE en
