STRONGS H403: Abbreviations
† אָכֵן (perhaps from אַךְ; compare Aramaic דֵּךְ & דִּכֵּן) adverb with strong asseverative force:
a. surely, truly, especially at beginning of a speech (stronger & more decided than אַךְ) Genesis 28:16; Exodus 2:14; 1 Samuel 15:32; Isaiah 40:7; Isaiah 45:15; Jeremiah 3:23 (twice in verse); Jeremiah 4:10; Jeremiah 8:8. In 1 Kings 11:2 אָבֵן stands unusually; and מֶּן־ (compare Greek Version of the LXX Syriac Version Targum) should probably be read (so Klo).
