to the high-heavens

Morphological NotesAramaic noun, common masculine plural, determined (emphatic) state (שְׁמַיָּא) with prefixed preposition לְ (“to”). Corresponds to Hebrew שָׁמַיִם, a plural/dual form.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root conveying height or loftiness, referring to the elevated expanse above. The form is Aramaic masculine plural in the determined (emphatic) state with the prefixed preposition לְ (“to”), hence “to the high-heavens,” preserving both plurality and definiteness.
