In the other Testament 2 words

θηρίον thēríon · G2342 · animal, quadruped: Greek θηρίον renders Aramaic חֵיוָא in LXX contexts where the Aramaic denotes wild or dangerous beasts (particularly in Daniel's apocalyptic visions), establishing a direct translation equivalent relationship across the two languages for the semantic domain of wild/threatening animals.
חַי chay · H2416 · alive, living, raw: Aramaic cognate of Hebrew חַי, sharing the same Semitic root for 'living creature' and used specifically in the sense 'beast' in Daniel's Aramaic sections.
