da.liy.yah denotes the spreading woody growth of a vine or tree, shown as extending, abundant, or shattered.

   The common feminine plural construct form occurs in descriptions of a vine's growth in Ezekiel 17:6 and Ezekiel 17:7, where the APB renders clauses about branches turning or being sent out. It also occurs in tree imagery: Ezekiel 31:7 and Ezekiel 31:9 describe length and multitude in the APB, while Ezekiel 31:12 and Jeremiah 11:16 depict this growth as fallen or shattered.
