1. Chaldeans (ethnic/national designation) — The proper noun כַּשְׂדִּי (Kasdai/Kasdim), referring to the Chaldean people or nation, used both as a singular and plural gentilicn. All four clusters represent the same ethnic designation with variation only in number (singular vs. plural), prepositional framing (to, with), and ketiv/qere alternations. Arabic consistently uses الكَلْدَانِيّ/الكَلْدَانِيُّون (al-Kaldānī, 'the Chaldean(s)'), Korean uses 갈대아인/갈대아사람 (Galdea-in, 'Chaldean person'), Spanish uses caldeo/caldeos, Swahili uses Wakaldayo/Mkaldayo, and Hindi uses कसदी (kasdī). These are spelling and inflectional variants of a single proper noun. 13×
