[body part + possessive suffix] + [di (of)] + [metal]
No temporal gap markers, no subordinate clauses, no "and after a long time" between ANY transitions.
The legs-to-feet transition is grammatically INDISTINGUISHABLE from all other transitions.

Dan 8:20:

- בַּ֣עַל הַקְּרָנָ֑יִם = "having the two horns"
- מַלְכֵ֖י מָדַ֥י וּפָרָֽס = "kings of Media and Persia"
** ANGEL-INTERPRETED identification = E-tier evidence **
** Note: "Media and Persia" = ONE entity with TWO horns, not two separate kingdoms **
Dan 8:21:
- וְהַצָּפִ֥יר הַשָּׂעִ֖יר = "and the rough/hairy he-goat"
- מֶ֣לֶךְ יָוָ֑ן = "king of Greece (Yavan)"

** מַלְכֻיֹ֛ות = H4438 malkuth (Hebrew), not H4437 malku (Aramaic) or H4468 mamlakuwth **
** Dan 8 is in HEBREW, not Aramaic like Dan 2-7 **
- מִגֹּ֥וי יַעֲמֹ֖דְנָה = "from the nation shall stand up"
- וְלֹ֥א בְכֹחֹֽו = "but not in his power"
Daniel 7:23 (Fourth Beast Interpretation)
- כֵּן֮ אֲמַר֒ = "thus he said" (Peal Perfect 3ms of אמר)

** malku (H4437) = same word as Dan 2:39,40,44 -- vocabulary chain **
** be-ar'a = "on the earth" -- scope indicator **
- דִּ֥י תִשְׁנֵ֖א מִן־כָּל־מַלְכְוָתָ֑א = "which shall be different from all kingdoms"
** תִשְׁנֵ֖א (tishne') = Peal Imperfect 2ms of שׁנה "be different" **

- וְתֵאכֻל֙ כָּל־אַרְעָ֔א = "and shall devour the whole earth"
** תֵאכֻל (te'khul) = Peal Imperfect 3fs of אכל "eat/devour" **
** כָּל־אַרְעָ֔א (kol-ar'a) = "whole earth" -- GLOBAL scope **
** CRITICAL FOR PRET: "devour the whole earth" is a scale constraint. **
** PRET must show Greek successors = worldwide scope; HIST/FUT: Rome fit this description. **
- וּתְדוּשִׁנַּ֖הּ = "and shall trample it down"
** תְדוּשִׁנַּ֖הּ = Peal Imperfect 3fs + 3fs suffix of דושׁ "trample/thresh" **
- וְתַדְּקִנַּֽהּ = "and shall crush it"
** תַדְּקִנַּֽהּ = Haphel Imperfect 3fs + 3fs suffix of דקק "crush" **
** SAME ROOT דקק (H1855) as Dan 2:34,35,40,44,45 AND Dan 7:7,19 **
** This is the d'qaq vocabulary chain binding both visions **
CRITICAL: Three destructive actions in sequence: devour + trample + crush (dqq).
The d'qaq root appears in BOTH the image vision (Dan 2:34,35,40,44,45) and the beast vision (Dan 7:7,19,23). This is the strongest single vocabulary link between the two visions.
