end (Aramaic); part or portion
This Aramaic noun appears in Daniel with two related senses: the end or conclusion of a time period, and a part or portion of something. In Daniel 4, it marks the completion of months ('at the end of twelve months'), while in chapter 2 it indicates a partial element ('part of the kingdom'). The term functions similarly to Hebrew qetsah, marking boundaries in time or composition.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The Aramaic word designates either temporal conclusion or fractional portion. Daniel 4:29 and 4:34 use it with 'at the end of' to mark when periods of months conclude—the moment when Nebuchadnezzar's year of warning expired and when his restoration arrived. Daniel 2:42 employs it spatially/constitutionally: 'part of the kingdom will be...' describing the mixed composition of the prophetic statue's feet. Both uses indicate boundaries—where time periods terminate or where compositional elements divide. 3×
