and the knots of

Rootקטר (q-ṭ-r)
Core Meaningsknotting, binding together, tying, jointing
Semantic Rangeliteral knots, joints of the body (vertebrae), structural joints, figurative riddles (as something intricately "tied"), expressions of doubt or complexity
Conceptual SignificanceThe imagery of "knots" or "joints" conveys interconnectedness and structural integrity, whether in the human body or in figurative speech. In Aramaic biblical contexts (e.g., Daniel), it can symbolize complexity or something tightly bound and difficult to untangle.
Morphological NotesAramaic common noun, masculine plural construct (Ncmpc) from קְטַר; prefixed conjunction וְ ("and"). The construct state requires a following genitive.
Rendering RationaleThe noun קְטַר in Aramaic denotes a "knot" or "joint," reflecting the root idea of something tied or bound together. The form קִטְרֵי is masculine plural construct ("knots of"), and the prefixed וְ adds "and," so the rendering preserves both the root sense of binding and the plural construct relationship.
