Aramaic or hebrew words?

[Paul Younan]

Thanks Paul I alwys appreciate your knowledge on these things, particularly when someone is bluffing. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

Hehehe. This guy's funny.

Any comment on these comments from the same "bluffer"?

Mammon? which appears to be derived from a god's name.

To this day, the Aramaic word for "money" is Mammon, it's not in Hebrew. I have no idea what planet this guy's from.

Satana? What, not from Hebrew??

No, it's not from Hebrew when it's in the Emphatic form Satana. Hebrew's Emphatic form would be HaSatan.

More examples:

Semitic root
--------------
bayt - "house"

Aramaic Emphatic
---------------------
Bayta - "THE/A house"

Hebrew Emphatic
--------------------
HaBayt - "THE/A house"

Semitic root
--------------
anash - "man"

Aramaic Emphatic
---------------------
anasha - "THE/A man"

Hebrew Emphatic
--------------------
Haanash - "THE/A man"

Semitic root
--------------
kalb - "dog"

Aramaic Emphatic
---------------------
kalba - "THE/A dog"

Hebrew Emphatic
--------------------
Hakalb - "THE/A dog"

Ahh, Beelzebub, no wait, not even that, it's from Hebrew as well (2K1:2).

But then again so is "Yeshua", so what's the point? The root in Aramaic is "Baal" for "lord" as found in the geneaology of Yeshua in Mattai. The "Zebub" part is found in Hebrew, but also in Akkadian, Aramaic and even Amorite...three of it's ancestors.

With the exception of "wai", not a single one of your examples yields a necessarily Aramaic source.

Has this person heard of "Talitha Qumi", "Abba" or "Maran Atha?"

Oh he insists Amen is hebrew as well

Well, it is. It's also Akkadian, Aramaic and Arabic at the same time.

Take care. <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
