עלי/ך
𐤏𐤋𐤉/𐤊

upon-you
A preposition in Aramaic indicating spatial, figurative, or causal relationships, most fundamentally expressing the idea of elevation, position above, or resting upon something. It covers a range of semantic relationships including location or direction ('on, upon, over'), opposition or confrontation ('against'), causation or purpose ('concerning, because of'), and agency or instrumentality ('by, through'). The preposition is versatile and must be understood according to context, with 'downward aspect' when used negatively or adversarially.
