Semantic Rangethese, these ones, the present ones, those here (in context)
Conceptual SignificanceAs a demonstrative, this word serves to identify and distinguish specific people or objects within a narrative or legal setting, often marking emphasis or contrast. In biblical Aramaic sections, it helps anchor discourse to particular groups or decrees, reinforcing immediacy and specificity.
Morphological NotesAramaic demonstrative pronoun; plural form (masculine plural attested in APdxmp), functioning attributively or substantivally; derived from the deictic base אל with plural ending ־ֵין.
Rendering RationaleThe form אִלֵּין is an Aramaic demonstrative pronoun built from the deictic base אל, used to point out persons or things in proximity. The morphology indicates plural (with masculine plural attested), so the rendering preserves the plural sense explicitly as “these,” noting the masculine grammatical form.
