SIBI-P1 H383-03

there-is to us

Rootאית (ʾ-y-t)
Core Meaningsexistence, being, presence, actuality
Semantic Rangethere is, there are, there exists, to have, to be present, to be available
Conceptual SignificanceIn the Aramaic portions of Scripture (e.g., Ezra, Daniel), this term affirms concrete existence or possession. It underscores actuality and presence—declaring that something truly "is" in relation to a people or situation.
Morphological NotesAramaic existential particle אִית with 1st person common plural pronominal suffix (-נָא), functioning predicatively to express existence or possession relative to "us."
Rendering RationaleThe Aramaic particle אִית (ʼîth/ʼîthay) denotes existence or presence (“there is”). The attached 1st person common plural suffix (-נָא) specifies "to us," yielding the sense “there is to us,” which idiomatically can express “we have” or “we are.” This rendering preserves both the existential core meaning of the root and the 1cp morphology.
