Aramaic demonstrative pronoun 'these,' used exclusively in Daniel for plural reference.
An Aramaic demonstrative pronoun meaning 'these,' serving as the plural counterpart of denah ('this'). Found only in the Aramaic portions of Daniel, it points to groups already introduced in context: kingdoms, satraps, or beasts. The multilingual translations converge remarkably: Spanish 'estos/estas,' French 'ces,' and German 'diese' all render it as a straightforward plural demonstrative, confirming its uncomplicated referential function.

Senses
1. sense 1 Aramaic plural demonstrative pronoun 'these,' functioning as the plural of denah. Used in Daniel to refer back to previously mentioned entities: 'all these kingdoms' (Dan 2:40, 44), 'these satraps' (Dan 6:2, 6), and 'these beasts' (Dan 7:17). Cognate with Palmyrene 'ln and Targumic 'ilyn, it is part of the standard Aramaic demonstrative system.
