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 -->
Any comment on these comments from the same "bluffer"?
Mammon? which appears to be derived from a god's name. Satana? What, not from Hebrew?? Ahh, Beelzebub, no wait, not even that, it's from Hebrew as well (2K1:2). With the exception of "wai", not a single one of your examples yields a necessarily Aramaic source.
Oh he insists Amen is hebrew as well
