Daniel 6:3 reports that 'the king planned to set him [Daniel] over the whole kingdom,' using this Aramaic verb. The form is strictly a passive participle, meaning 'was thought' or 'was planned,' functioning as a perfect tense. The verb means to think or plan, cognate with Biblical Hebrew and Targum usage (though not found in Syriac). Darius' intention to elevate Daniel triggers the plot by jealous officials to destroy him. Spanish 'pensaba' (he was thinking/planning) captures the deliberative sense. The Aramaic here reflects the language of the imperial court, where Daniel navigates the dangerous politics of high office.
