Indeed. I think our friend
@Der Alte has some bona fides in this respect as like some clergy he was blessed with formal Greek training in seminary, although I would note even here that the well-educated clergyman is not themselves a Greek scholar, because the Greek language is complex and the legitimate scholars of that language are above and beyond the capabilities of most. There was a genuine Aramaic Scholar on ChristianForums,
@SteveCaruso , but he hasn’t posted anything since before I joined the forum, to my disappointment. I suppose he got tired of refuting the nonsensical assertions people routinely make about the Aramaic dialects (for example, some people think the West Syriac name “Isho” was the original pronounciation of the name of our Lord, but the West Syriac accent hadn’t dropped down from seven to five vowells until at least the sixth century, if I recall, and even then we find Syriac Orthodox literature implying the use of the seven vowels even in recent centuries, which are retained in the East Syriac accents and by the modern day Neo-Assyrian Eastern Neo-Aramaic dialect spoken by the ethnic Assyrians of the Church of the East, who use the East Syriac accent as a ltiurgical language.
