shlam lakh akh Paul,

Excellent summary, Akhan Abudar.

Now if that's the case, then rather than the traditional "qudsha/qudsho" pronunciation we are accustomed to (as in the adjective of "Holy Spirit"), we would now pronounce it "qudashe/qudoshe" (plural noun q-w-d-Sh-a from the singular q-d-Sh-a, attested to only in the Jewish Palestinian Aramaic dialect, with the additional insertion of the Waw as second radical/consonant as we have seen in other irregular plurals like "village").

Parallelism complete. Peshitta is a product of the Levant, not Edessa. Of Jews, not Assyrians.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we now rest our case.....(not!)

+Shamasha

That sounds good, it fits within established patterns. The only thing left to do is to get the Church to change it in their editions <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: --> <!-- sneaky: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sneaky1.gif" alt="neaky:" title="Sneaky" /><!-- sneaky: -->

I would like to thank you and Andrew for a great discussion and a great learning opportunity!
