Steve,
And thanks again. Steve, since you mentioned the lexicon right here at Peshitta.org (I used it last night for the first time as I did not know that Peshitta.org had this. I just happened to look under "tools.") But I want to be sure of something. Are we given permission to use this lexicon?? I read the fine print and "The Way International" published and placed this lexicon on the internet. However, the fine print states that if one were to use this he would have to obtain permission prior to using it. It sort of through me off because usually the fine prints state that the info is copyrighted and can not be copied w/o permission of the people who produce and publish - "whatever." But this lexicon states that we must get perimission to just use it. If this is the case I always give these "honor system" agreements the benefit of the doubt. So, does this site have permission to use the lexicon by "The Way International?"
I will confess I did use it last night because of some things I felt I had to find out for it was very important and pertinent to this subject. But, you know, I just like for things to be on the up and up and out in the open and honest as far as it depends on me/us.
Now, since you have been corresponding with me and since you mentioned the Khoubaris text, I was just wondering if you knew anything about this text??. I have tapped into it just today and am trying to figure out some of the plural and singular words on this manuscript. Would you know if the Syame markings for the plural (2 dots or points above the word to indicate the plural) are faithfully marked on this manuscript??? From what I can tell I think so because I have looked up some verses. But there are some big, bold dots above some of the words as well and am wondering if you know what these indicate. For example, in John 4:10, there appears to be no points above the word in "gift." But there are 2 big bold pooints at the end of this word (reading the word from R to L). What do these mean and what are the significance of these?? Anyway, just thought I would take a shot at this. Thanks for conversing with me.
Graciously,
Mike
