1. thought, reflection — A masculine noun meaning 'thought,' 'reflection,' or 'cogitation,' an Aramaic loanword found exclusively in the book of Daniel. All three clusters represent the same lexical meaning with variation only in pronominal suffixes and conjunctive waw: his-thoughts, your-thoughts, my-thoughts. Arabic أَفْكَارُهُ/أَفْكَارُكَ/أَفْكَارِي (afkāruhu/afkāruka/afkārī, 'his/your/my thoughts'), Spanish sus pensamientos/tus pensamientos ('his/your thoughts'), Hindi विचार (vicār, 'thoughts') with possessive markers उसके/तेरे/मेरे, Korean 생각들 (saenggak-deul, 'thoughts') with possessives 그의/당신의/나의, Swahili mawazo ('thoughts') with possessives yake/yako/yangu. The term appears in Daniel's vision narratives describing troubling thoughts on one's bed (Daniel 2:29-30, 4:19, 5:6, 5:10, 7:28), consistently referring to mental cogitation. 6×
