hi in greek the word for apostle is masculine. What is the case for the word in aramaic ?
Thank you.
It is 'shliho', and it is male gender.
I think it's Shlikha in the Eastern Syriac dialect.
hi thanks for the replys. So this means their is no such thing as a woman that is an apostle

Not necessarily. The standard word for "apostle" is simply
grammatically masculine by default, not
inherently masculine.
Conceivably it could be inflected in the feminine form, or used to describe female individuals (as all it means is "sent one"). There wouldn't be anything really preventing it.
