Isaiah 45:17, Peshitta, Mass, LXX, etc
#39
Hi Truthseeker,

The phenomenon of shortening names, or making new forms from titles in both Hebrew and Aramaic is not limited to just those languages, it happens pretty much in every language. It's technically called a hypocoristicon. "Maryah", like "Isaiah", is a hypocoristicon.

For a very detailed explanation, with examples from English, see:
