1. holy, sacred (Aramaic) — Aramaic adjective meaning 'holy, sacred,' used exclusively in Daniel (4:5,6,15; 7:18,21,22,25,27) of both God ('the Holy One') and celestial beings ('the holy ones / saints'). All three clusters are grammatical inflections of the same adjective: absolute plural, construct plural, and singular with conjunction. Arabic consistently renders 'الْقُدُسِينَ/قُدُّوسٌ,' Korean '거룩한,' Swahili 'watakatifu/mtakatifu,' Spanish 'santos/santo,' and Hindi 'पवित्र.' The semantic range is uniform across all occurrences—divine holiness or holy beings—with variation only in number and syntactic attachment. 13×
