cha.laq denotes a share or claim, stated negatively as having no share and occurring in tree imagery.

The attested use concerns a share or claim: Ezra 4:16 explicitly denies such a claim, while the construct forms in Daniel 4:12 and Daniel 4:20 occur within the description of a great tree, though the translation does not clearly isolate their contribution there.

1. A share or claim · dominant

   In Ezra 4:16, the absolute form occurs in the warning that, if the city and its walls are completed, the king will have no “portion across the river” in the APB. The construct forms in Daniel 4:12 and Daniel 4:20 occur in the portrayal of the tree: Daniel 4:12 describes abundant fruit, food, shelter, and nourishment, while Daniel 4:20 identifies the tree seen; the APB does not make the term's specific English contribution clear in those clauses.
