1. until, up to (temporal/spatial limit) — Aramaic preposition marking a temporal or spatial endpoint, meaning 'until, up to, as far as'. Used in Daniel and Ezra for durations and boundaries. All multilingual evidence converges on the same limiting preposition: eng 'until / and-up-to', spa 'hasta / y-hasta', hin 'जब-तक / और-तक', arb 'حتى / و-حتى', kor '까지 / 그리고-까지', swa 'hadi / na-hadi'. S122440 differs only by the conjunction waw prefix (and-until), not a distinct semantic sense. 35×
