example right off the top of my head and my main computer is at home, is used
sometimes in a "secular" context with the meaning of being set apart. In
those contexts, translations sometimes misunderstand them. As such, there is
no real equivalent in English to the Hebrew word QD$."

What about "special" or "distinct"?
