di is a grammatical linker that joins clauses and introduces descriptive, causal, and purpose relationships.

Across the supplied passages, the form functions chiefly as a grammatical connector: its relative-particle use links people, things, or actions to further description, while its conjunction use introduces grounds, comparisons, or intended results within the clause.

Senses in use

  1. Clause-linking relative particle and conjunction · dominant

    The supplied morphology most often identifies the form as a relative particle, as in Daniel 2:11, where the APB renders clauses concerning one who can declare the matter and gods “whose dwelling is not with flesh.” It is also tagged as a conjunction in Daniel 2:18 and Daniel 2:40, where the APB renders a purpose clause, “so that Daniel and his companions might not be destroyed,” and a ground, “because iron crushes and shatters everything.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously expresses the linked clauses with words such as “whose,” “so that,” “because,” and “just as,” but it is a whole-verse translation and may also absorb the particle without a separate English equivalent.
