a.lu is a demonstrative particle that draws attention to what is presented in a report or vision.

The particle marks something brought forward for attention: the great image in Daniel 2:31, a tree in Daniel 4:10, and features of the horn vision in Daniel 7:8. Its occurrence in Daniel 4:7 is present in the supplied form data, though the APB translation does not visibly reflect it.

1. Demonstrative attention marker · dominant

   The supplied morphology identifies each form as a demonstrative particle. In Daniel 2:31 the APB renders the presentation of “a single great image,” in Daniel 4:10 “a tree,” and in Daniel 7:8 another horn and then its eyes and mouth; the particle occurs at these points of presented vision content. It also occurs in Daniel 4:7, where the APB renders the entry of dream interpreters without an explicit corresponding attention marker.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB visibly uses “behold” in Daniel 2:31, Daniel 4:10, and twice in Daniel 7:8. In Daniel 4:7 it gives no explicit “behold”; Its handling of the particle there is uncertain.
