This Aramaic adjective describes the 'little horn' in Daniel's apocalyptic vision (7:8). Though small initially, this horn uproots three others and speaks arrogantly, symbolizing a ruler who rises from obscurity to dominate. The adjective contrasts size with significance: physically small but disproportionately influential and destructive. This pattern recurs in biblical symbolism—what appears insignificant often proves pivotal. The 'little horn' becomes the vision's focal point, embodying presumptuous power.
