The first a (middle voice) prolonged form of the second (primary) which is used for it in certain tenses; and both as alternates of G3708; to gaze (that is with wide open eyes as at something remarkable; and thus differing from G991 which denotes simply voluntary observation; and from G1492 which expresses merely mechanical passive or casual vision; while G2300 and still more emphatically its intensive G2334 signifies an earnest but more continued inspection; and G4648 a watching from a distance): - appear look see shew self.
