| Core Meanings | pointing, indication, thisness, thatness, specification |
| Semantic Range | this, that, the same, this very one (masculine singular referent) |
| Conceptual Significance | As a demonstrative, דִּכֵּן anchors discourse to a specific person, object, or matter, often marking emphasis or clarification in Aramaic sections of Scripture (e.g., Ezra, Daniel), thereby sharpening focus on the identified subject. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic demonstrative pronoun; masculine singular (APdxbs/APdxcs); functions attributively or substantively to specify a masculine singular referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | דִּכֵּן is an Aramaic masculine singular demonstrative pronoun meaning “this” or “that.” Rendering it as “this-one (masculine)” preserves its deictic, specifying force while clearly reflecting its masculine singular form in the morphology. |
