Marya (Lord-God)
#1
Shlama alokhun,

I wanted to see if anyone could help me find some solid scholarly research done about the title "Marya". I know it means Lord-God (Mar = Lord; Yah = short form of YHWH/God), but I am looking to see how this ties into the use of the short form of the name of God in the Old Testament.

From my own experience I have never heard an Aramaic speaker refer to anyone but Jesus as Marya. I do know that the more generic term "Mar" is used quite often today for a wide array of saints, bishops, etc. and "Yah" is added to words for names in the Old Testament, but is the word Marya (or the Hebrew equivalent) ever used in the Tanakh to denote God specifically (or anyone else)? Furthermore, outside of names, is Yah (or YHWH) ever used to refer to someone other than God (or other gods)?

As usual any help would be appreciated.

Push b'shayna,
