         DefinitionShort: to shine or to produce light, as in the case of heavenly bodies, lightning, candles, torches, etc.

         Glosses: ['to shine', 'to give light', 'to bring light']

         Comments: Terms for ‘shining, giving light’ often differ depending upon the type of source. There may be, for example, a contrast between the shining of a heavenly body in contrast with some source on earth. There may also be a difference between a continuous shining such as of the sun and the moon and a brief flash, as in the case of lightning or sparks from a fire.

         Glosses: ['to appear', 'to become visible']

         Comments: In a number of languages the equivalent of ‘appeared to’ would simply be ‘came to’ or ‘arrived at.’ In other languages the equivalent is ‘… he saw in a dream.’

         Comments: In order to do justice to φαίνομαι in {S:04002302800012}, it may be necessary in some languages to translate as follows: ‘on the outside you appear to people to be good, but you really are not’ or ‘… you only appear to people to be good’ or ‘… you make people think you are good, but you are not.’
