| Morphological Notes | Aramaic demonstrative pronoun/adjectival form; masculine singular absolute; emphatic/prolonged form of דָּא. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is an Aramaic emphatic demonstrative derived from דך, functioning to point out or designate a specific referent. "This one" preserves the singular masculine sense and the deictic force inherent in the root. |
