Biblical Aramaic contains three major particles that, used either
Biblical Aramaic contains some particles that, used either
individually or in combination, express an "affirmation of" or "addition
to" some aspect of the text. These particles can have a scope as narrow
as a single word or phrase, or as broad as an entire sentence or
paragraph.
אַף
---
This word is flexible in meaning; sometimes it appears to function more
like a :ref:`conjunction` and sometimes more like an :ref:`adverb`.
This word does not have a single translation value, but must be
translated with great sensitivity to its context. In English, אַף is
often translated with a family of different words, including "also",
"even", "only", "truly", and/or other terms that can convey the general
concepts of affirmation or addition. Sometimes it is left untranslated,
in instances where there is no satisfactory way to communicate the sense
of the word as used in its specific context.
גַּם
----
Like אַף, this word appears to function sometimes more like a
:ref:`conjunction` and sometimes more like an :ref:`adverb`.
This word does not have a single translation value, but must be
translated with great sensitivity to its context. In English, גַּם is
often translated with a family of different words, including "also",
"indeed", "even", and/or other terms that can convey the general
concepts of affirmation or addition.
כִּי

אַף כִּי
--------
When paired together, these two particles function as a single unit,
expressing a strong sense of affirmation or addition. Again, this
compound particle must be translated with extreme sensitivity to the
context in order to convey its precise nuance.
אִם (after oath formulas)
-------------------------
When the word אִם follows oath formulas, it functions as an affirmation
particle to strengthen the force of the oath, either negatively (as אִם
alone) or positively (as אִם־לֹא).
