this (masculine singular)
| Root | דן (d-n) |
| Core Meanings | thisness, pointing, specification, demonstrative reference |
| Semantic Range | this, this one, this matter, such, thus, therefore (in extended discourse usage), these (in collective sense depending on context) |
| Conceptual Significance | As a core demonstrative in Biblical Aramaic (notably in Daniel and Ezra), דֵּן anchors discourse by pointing to specific persons, events, or decrees. It functions to clarify, specify, and draw attention, shaping legal, royal, and prophetic statements with precision. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic demonstrative pronoun, masculine singular (often in emphatic state); used attributively or substantively. The morphology codes (AC, APdxms) reflect its function as a demonstrative with masculine singular reference. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic demonstrative דֵּן in the form דְּנָה functions as a masculine singular demonstrative pronoun. Rendering it as "this (masculine singular)" preserves its deictic force (pointing to a specific entity) while accurately reflecting its grammatical gender and number. |
