    All cited tokens are feminine singular absolute gentilics. In 2 Kings 18:26 and Isaiah 36:11 the APB renders a request to speak to the servants "in Aramaic" rather than in Judahite; in Daniel 2:4 it renders the Chaldeans speaking to the king "in Aramaic." Ezra 4:7 places the term with a letter described as written and translated "in Aramaic."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all cited verses, the APB presents the term as "in Aramaic" in contexts of speaking, writing, and translating. This rendering confirms the verse-level context rather than isolating every contribution of the Hebrew form.
