Madai (Media)
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic proper noun (Np), masculine singular; also appears with prefixed לְ ("to/for/of") as לְמָדַי. Functions as a geographic and ethnic designation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term is an Aramaic masculine singular proper noun referring to the land and people of Madai (Media). Rendering it as "Madai" preserves the proper-name form and ethnic-geographical identity inherent in the Hebrew/Aramaic, while "Media" clarifies its historical referent in English. |
