Footnotes

1

This word means “to tightly cover so as to keep water out,” from there it gained the meanings: “to shield, ward off, protect, preserve, conceal, keep secret, ,” which in turn have provided the figurative meanings of “to endure, bear, bear up under or against, hold out against.”

2

This is the word “all, every, each.” The emphasis is on the individual parts that make up the whole.

3

This is the word for “hope, expect, trust, wait for.”

4: “remain under”:

Here we have a compound word made up of the verb “remain, stay” and the preposition “under.” It means “to endure, bear up against, persevere, wait patiently.”
