| Root | כה (k-h) |
| Core Meanings | demonstration, pointing out, thusness, manner, so |
| Semantic Range | thus, so, in this way, in such a manner, accordingly, just so |
| Conceptual Significance | כָּכָה often reinforces obedience, pattern, or fulfillment—indicating that something was done precisely as instructed or described. It underscores conformity to a spoken word, command, or prior act, highlighting the importance of faithful correspondence in biblical narrative and law. |
| Morphological Notes | Hebrew demonstrative adverb (HD); indeclinable. Formed from the demonstrative base כה with reduplication for emphasis, functioning adverbially to modify verbs or clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb כָּכָה derives from the demonstrative root כה, which points to something specific (“thus, so”). Rendering it as "in-this-manner" preserves the deictic force of pointing to a particular way or pattern just mentioned or about to be described. As an indeclinable adverb (HD), it carries no gender, number, or person distinctions, which is reflected in the neutral English phrase. |
