הָא demonstrative particle lo! behold! (Biblical Hebrew הֵא (twice); Egyptian Aramaic and Têma הא (Cooke193, 198); ᵑ7 הָא; Syriac [untranscribed source text 5986]; Mandean הא (NöM 81); Arabic [untranscribed source text 5987] in Aramaic also often prefixed to pronoun 3 person for greater definiteness, as ᵑ7 הָהוּא, [untranscribed source text 5988] (for h¹-h¥ ), see NöM 89 f. WCG 106 f.), Dan 3:25.
