    In Daniel 7:8, the masculine singular absolute Poal participle occurs as Daniel is considering the horns before another small horn ascends among them. The APB renders the clause, "I was considering the horns," while the verse proceeds to describe the horn's eyes and mouth.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 7:8, the APB presents the clause as "I was considering the horns." This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
