| Root | מלל (m-l-l) |
| Core Meanings | to speak, utter, declare, say |
| Semantic Range | word, utterance, statement, decree, command, matter, affair |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Aramaic portions of Scripture (notably Daniel and Ezra), מִלָּה often denotes an authoritative spoken word—whether human counsel or royal decree—highlighting the power and binding force of spoken utterance in covenantal and imperial contexts. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic common feminine singular noun in the construct state from מִלָּה (millâh). The construct form requires a following genitive complement ("…of"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִלָּה derives from the root מלל, "to speak" or "to utter." As a feminine singular construct form (ANcfsc), מִלַּת means "utterance of…," preserving both its verbal root sense and its grammatical state linking it to a following noun. |
