This display reflects an early draft manuscript of Sokoloff's A Dictionary of Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, first edition. For additions and corrections in the second printed edition, please view our online text here. A third edition (2017) is now available, but it lacks the very valuable indexes of the earlier ones. They are available online, however (see the "CONTENTS" page of that edition).
כך adj. so, thus (< MH כך Jast 637) a. + part.: כך נהגין גבהון they act in such a manner Seq 47a(12); Ber 4b(31); Dem 22c(31); b. in phrase: היכמה/כמה ٠٠٠ כך just as ... so: הכמא דא[תחנ]נון קדמיך ٠٠٠ כך סופך למתחננא קדמי just as they petitioned before you, so you will ultimately petition before me FTP Num 16:1; כמה דיהב לך כך יהב לי just like He gave to you, so He will give to me BR 452:3; ib.Var 2; BR 399:3; כמא דאנא רחמן בשמיא כך תהוון רחמנין בארעא just as I am merciful in heaven, so you should be merciful on earth Ber 9c(21); Sab 2c(2); San 27b(15); והיך מה דהוא נגיד ביממא כך הוא נגיד בליליא just as it flows during the day, so does it flow at night EchRB 133:5; KohR 9c(17); ib. 16c(17); 28; 19d(38)Because of its graphic similarity, →כן has frequently been corrupted to this word, e.g. אפילו כך Yeb 12d(18); לא כך אלפן רבי PRK 393:13; Bik 64a(28); Git 46d(23). The use of the phrase כך וכך "such and such" in JMP (e.g. 8c:1; 10b:15) is also suspect, since these texts also employ כן וכן (e.g. 9r:12; 10b:12).
