Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

כְּנֵ֫מָא adverb accordingly, as follows (derivation uncertain: Nö^{GGA, 1884,1021} Marti and others from כֵּן + indefinite מָא, so somewhat, ungefähr so: see older improbable view ( as we should say, from כְּ and נֵימָא = נֵאמַר, compare Talmud יֵימָא for יֵימַר) in Thes⁶⁵²): referring backwards, Ear Ezra 6:13 כְּנֵמָא ֗֗֗ עֲבַדוּ did accordingly; referring forwards, Ezra 4:8 . . . כְּתַבוּכְנֵמָא wrote a letter . . . as follows, Ezra 5:4(read c ᵐ5אֲמַרוּ; אֲמַרְנָא from Ezra 5:9, Mey^{Entst. 26}), Ezra 5:9; Ezra 5:11.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

כְּנֵמָא adv. Chald. so, thus, in this manner. Ezra 4:8, 5:4, Ezra 5:9, 11 Ezra 5:11, 6:13. It appears to be compounded of כְּ and נֵימָא, נֵמָא often in the Talmud used for נֵימַר, נֵאמַר, the letter ר being negligently omitted: thus it properly means, as it has been said, or as we say; and it is so used as to refer sometimes to what precedes, sometimes to what follows. The Heb. translator [of the Chaldee parts of Daniel and Ezra, printed in Kennicott’s Hebrew Bible] renders 4:8, כן אמר (read כְּנֶאֱמַר), and 5:4 כשנאמר (as it has been said). In like manner, Syr. ܟܶܐܡܰܬ to wit, is contracted from ܟܐܡܪ̱ܬ as if thou wouldst say.
