The element of movement appears to be entirely secondary.'}

    Comments: In some languages it is difficult to distinguish readily between expressions for ‘leading’ and those which refer to ‘ruling’ or ‘governing,’ but it is important to try to distinguish clearly between these two different sets of interpersonal relations. In some languages, the concept of ‘leading’ can be expressed by ‘showing how to’ or ‘demonstrating how one ought to.’ In other languages it is possible to speak of ‘leading’ as simply ‘going ahead of,’ but too often such an expression may designate only ‘a scout’ who goes ahead to see whether things are safe, or it may refer only to a person who insists on his prerogative as the most distinguished person in a group.

    Comments: In some languages, however, the closest equivalent of this expression in {S:05800100300022} may be ‘causing everything to continue to be as it is by his powerful word.’|It is also possible to interpret φέρω in {S:05800100300022} as ‘to cause to continue to exist,’ in which case it may be classified after {D:13.89}. However, the focus seems to be on the state of being.

    Comments: In rendering φέρω in {S:05800901600012}, it may be necessary to redistribute the semantic components even as in the case of the English translation, for example, ‘to show … actually …’

    Glosses: ['to move', 'to come', 'to blow']
    Comments: It is possible that in {S:04400200200018} φέρομαι should be understood in an idiomatic sense of ‘blowing,’ since it is combined with the noun for ‘wind’ ({L:πνοή}[a], {D:14.4}). In any event, one must often translate φέρομαι[a] as ‘blowing,’ since this is frequently the appropriate type of term to use in speaking of the movement of wind.
