Morphological NotesAramaic common masculine plural noun in the emphatic (determined) state (ANcmpd/Td). Cognate to Hebrew שָׁמַיִם, a plural form referring to the sky or heavens.
Rendering RationaleThe form is masculine plural in the emphatic (determined) state in Biblical Aramaic, denoting "the heavens." Rendering it "of the heavens" preserves both the plural form and the sense of elevated realms inherent in the root idea of loftiness or height.
