lacking for the most part

largely absent
English term
for the most part
The thing is I don't see any parallelism at all in the chapter; does the author really mean that there is some parallelism in chapter three although it's only in a minimal part of it?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: this would be readily apparent to those who read Scripture in the original Hebrew as opposed to translations thereof (i.e. English or Spanish, etc.)

parallellism is barely seen in Chapter 3
| agree |
Deborah Workman
: Yes, Ana is correct. The author is saying s/he sees some parallelism in Ch. 3 but not enough to be significant, so "the most part" lacks it.

mainly / chiefly / largely / above all
Pero en el capítulo 3 (de Génesis) apenas obervamos esta figura / paralelismos
Como indica esta referencia, el paralelismo de la poesía hebrea bíblica abarca muchos aspectos. Así que es posible que lo que los eruditos llaman paralelismos a nosotros no nos parezcan tal cosa. Por ese motivo, respetaría la idea del autor, que es el experto, y traduciría "for the most part" como te propongo o como mejor veas que encaja en tu contexto.

Perdón a todos los compañeros. No me di cuenta de que era una pregunta sobre el texto en inglés, no una solicitud de traducción. Todavía estoy aprendiendo a moverme en Kudoz. Saludos cordiales.
