WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
ד־ / די
A d-based connector is one of the most characteristic features across many Aramaic corpora, but its exact shape and use vary by dialect. In Targumic and Western materials it can mark relative clauses, possession-like relationships, content clauses, or other connections. Each example on the site must carry a corpus tag so the learner does not assume that Onkelos, Yerushalmi, Bavli, and Zohar use every d-construction identically.
