Akhan Rob's discovery is a treasure! From what he has written, am I right to assume yet another version of the Song of Songs would be:
"The birds are seen in the land
-the time of singing has arrived -
and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land."
He does not include it in his Cyrus Gordon examples, but seems to make it clear by what he wrote before.
The really fun part of this is that God created the Aramaic language with the intent that it would enable Him to say exactly these parallelisms and flights of poetry. Through your web site we are literally looking into the Mind of God.
