Isaiah 45:17, Peshitta, Mass, LXX, etc

Thank you. Yes, #3050 Yah, I'm certainly aware of it. I guess I was just suprised to see the contraction of two words (one a Title and the other a shortened Name) where I thought there should be only one full Name. At least, I'm assuming "Mar" can be used as a seperate word in Aramaic. Maybe I'm looking at this too much from a logical Western mindset. I do appreciate your comments. I'll ponder them as I start to take a closer look at the Hebrew and Aramaic languages. Is there any good layman's history book available showing in somewhat of a chronological order the Semitic languages, especially in detailing the growth from the biblical Hebrew to Aramaic?

Thanks again,
