I wholeheartedly agree, this is definitely an area of study we should delve into. Maybe compile some articles on Qnuma, Melta and other words unique to Aramaic?
And I agree with reading too "Hebraically", Aramaic is similar to Hebrew but it's not Hebrew, people should make an effort to go beyond the similarities and delve into the unique nuances of certain words in the Peshitta.
Wish I could add something more helpful but I'm no expert and at the moment can't think of anything you haven't already covered.
