this one
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic demonstrative pronoun, masculine singular (emphatic/prolonged form of דָּא). |
| Rendering Rationale | "This one" preserves the demonstrative force of the Aramaic root דך, which functions to point out or designate a specific referent. The masculine singular form is reflected in the singular English expression, matching its grammatical number and gender. |
