Does anyone have any additional info on 'appeden (pavilion) from Daniel 11:45?

TWOT (142.2) simply says it is a Persian loan word. I was wondering if there 
might be any significance
to Daniel's choosing this word even though the prophecy he is writing about 
extends beyond the
Persian dynasty. (My own personal library here is rather limited.)

Thank you in advance

Dear Robert,

I'm not sure if I understand your question. The text of Daniel, both
in the Hebrew and Aramaic parts, has plenty of loan words. A Persian
loan word, in my view, has nothing to do -as far as prophecy is
concerned- with the Persian empire.
If there is only one available etymology for *'appeden (a word that is
only attested in constructs), then that's that. The problem is that
we'd never know if the fact that it's a loanword meant anything to the
writer of the text at all, if the writer knew/realised that in the
first place.
I guess the writer thought this word expressed the idea (s)he had in
the best manner possible.

Regards,
Herman
