| Conceptual Significance | In the Aramaic portions of Scripture (notably Daniel and Ezra), דִּי serves as a key structural particle linking clauses and expressing possession or causation. Its pervasive use shapes the syntax of Imperial Aramaic and reflects the linguistic environment of the exilic and post-exilic periods. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic relative particle; indeclinable; used as a relative conjunction or as a genitive marker ('of') and in various adverbial constructions. No inflection for gender, number, or person. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic דִּי functions as an indeclinable relative particle derived from a demonstrative base meaning "that." Rendering it "that-which" preserves its pointing function while clearly marking its role as a relative connector. As a particle (ATr/AC), it carries no gender, number, or person distinctions, so the rendering remains grammatically neutral. |
