| Semantic Range | then, at that time, at that very moment, now (in narrative sequence), immediately thereafter |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Aramaic portions of Ezra and Daniel, אֱדַיִן structures narrative progression and highlights decisive moments in royal decrees, divine interventions, and prophetic revelations, marking pivotal points within the unfolding historical timeline. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic adverb (AR/D); indeclinable particle of time occurring primarily in Ezra and Daniel; no gender, number, or pronominal inflection. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Aramaic adverb אֱדַיִן (ʼĕdayin) denotes a specific point within an ongoing span of time. Rendering it as "at that time" preserves its temporal force rooted in the idea of duration (עד) while accurately reflecting its function as an indeclinable adverb (AR/D), with no gender, number, or person distinctions. |
