15.123 · Linear Movement · Gather, Cause To Come Together
to gather together, to come together, to go together, to meet, to assemble the movement of two or more objects to the same location In a number of languages important distinctions are made in terms referring to gathering or assembling of animate beings. The distinctions are usually based upon the number of individuals, the distance which they have come, and whether or not the individuals in question constitute a membership group or whether they are merely a loose aggregation. In view of these types of distinctions, it is likely that quite different terms will be required for the various contexts listed for this set of related meanings.

23.61 · Physiological Processes and States · Sexual Relations
to have sexual intercourse with a figurative extension of meaning of συνέρχομαι[a] ‘to come together,’ 15.123 In almost all languages there are euphemistic ways of speaking about sexual intercourse, and the use of γινώσκω[f] and συνέρχομαι[c] is illustrative of this in the Greek NT. It is possible to translate γινώσκω in LUK 1:34 as simply ‘for I am not married to a man,’ and likewise, συνέρχομαι in MAT 1:18 may be rendered as ‘before they were married.’ In some languages one may use such expressions as ‘before they were joined’ or ‘before they slept together’ or ‘before they discovered one another.’
1 There are no doubt a number of subtle distinctions in meaning in this series of expressions meaning to gather together, but the precise distinctions in meaning cannot be determined from existing NT contexts.
