as indicated
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic relative particle דִּי with prefixed preposition כְּ ("as, according to"); functions as a comparative/subordinating particle. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle דִּי derives from a demonstrative root meaning "to point out" or "to indicate." With the prefixed כְּ ("as, according to"), the form כְּדִי conveys "as that which is indicated," preserving both the deictic force of the root and the comparative function of the prefix. |
