enduring
qay.yam describes an enduring quality in the two attested Aramaic verses.
The attested adjective denotes an enduring quality: its feminine singular form occurs in the tree-and-stump scene of Daniel 4:23, and its masculine singular form occurs in the declaration of deliverance in Daniel 6:27. The supplied translation does not isolate its specific contribution in either verse.

In Daniel 4:23, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in the account of a tree being cut down while its stump is left in the earth. In Daniel 6:27, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the declaration that he delivers, rescues, and works signs and wonders; the APB renders those surrounding clauses but does not identify a distinct English equivalent for this adjective.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding scenes—an enduring stump left after the tree is cut down in Daniel 4:23 and deliverance from lions in Daniel 6:27—but does not word-align a separate English rendering for the adjective.
