My friend Karl,

First of all: I'm Pere (and not Père). "Pere" = Peter (in Catalan, my mother
tongue) while "Père" is a father, a priest in French.

Secondly, it is quite an oddity for me that "dikita" (or DKYT) is an
adjective.
This is a Piel form, second person singular masculine. The same as "tsivita"
in Ps 7:7

I thought that the sentence is (or means)
"The bones that you crushed will rejoice"
This is why I thought an "asher" should be there: "tagelna 'atsamot asher
atah dikita"
Assuming that 'DKYT' is an adjective.... can you bring here other similar
adjectives (within the bible, of course) that are like this?

Heartly,

Pere Porta
