OT - Daniel 9
#14
Here's another fascinating word study I've come across and could use someone's help with.

The very last word in Dan9:27 is ܚܒܿܠܐ
Is this word singular or plural?  According to this dukhrana link you can only tell by the point markings.  However I'm sure the original text did not include any of those markings.
http://www.dukhrana.com/lexicon/lexeme.p...a&size=125%

In context it is this:
...up until the decreed extinction/end to be imposed upon/above the ܚܒܿܠܐ


According to the text at the CAL website, the word is defined as "harmful".  Investigating further, it is much more forceful than that.  It can be used as "destroyer", "defiler".  But you have click on the J.Payne Smith link to get a definition that was not included: birthpangs, pains of death, pangs of fear.

This immediately brought Matthew 24 to mind.  And sure enough, the Aramaic passage uses the same word there.  Jesus is discussing "what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"  Matt 24:3.  After his list of signs He says "All these are but the beginning of the birth pains." Matt 24:8.

Is this a direct reference to Daniel 9?  I don't think I've ever heard anyone point this out.  And why would they since Daniel 9 is read in Hebrew and Matthew is read in Greek.  Only by looking at the two passages in Aramaic is the similar word noticed.

That's why I'd like to know if the word in Daniel can be determined to be either singular or plural.
