the dream-vision

Morphological NotesAramaic noun, common masculine singular, determined state (ANcmsd). The final א marks the emphatic/determined state, functioning as a definite form: "the dream."
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root חלם (ḥ-l-m), "to dream." The form is masculine singular in the determined (definite) state in Aramaic, indicated by the ending -א, thus "the dream." Rendering it "the dream-vision" preserves the singular definite sense while making explicit its origin in the act of dreaming.
