3700.  Strong's Dictionary Study



3700. optanomai {op-tan'-om-ahee}; a (middle voice) prolonged 
form of the primary (middle voice) optomai {op'-tom-ahee}; which 
is used for it in certain tenses; and both as alternate of 3708; 
to gaze (i.e. with wide-open eyes, as at something remarkable; 
and thus differing from 991, which denotes simply voluntary 
observation; and from 1492, which expresses merely mechanical, 
passive or casual vision; while 2300, and still more 
emphatically its intensive 2334, signifies an earnest but more 
continued inspection; and 4648 a watching from a distance): --
appear, look, see, shew self.[ql
