Okay, hoping someone will read this, i will ask a few of the questions again:
1) What is the best way to approach Aramaic/Syriac studying for non-Syriac speaking people like me? i made use of the Peshitta at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dukhrana.com/peshitta">http://www.dukhrana.com/peshitta</a><!-- m -->. It is quite helpful and organized. Looking at the analysis (e.g. this one), i noticed a kind of number reference system (simply called "ID", like Strong's). Is that system widely established/accepted? Does anyone have a list of extensive dictionaries? Is there any software (i have the module for e-Sword, but that's kind of a very little start, considering i have access to so many resources on the Greek in programs like Libronix)?
2) Is there any kind of complete reference for differences between the Greek and the Syriac texts? Or a Greek-Syriac-English interlinear?
3) Which Greek Manuscript comes closest to the Syriac text? Or which Family? Or is this undiscernable?
4) Can anyone provide me with a list of (preferably published) books pro Aramaic Primacy / con Aramaic Primacy? The more books on the list, the better. Interestingly, it is quite hard to find more than a handful of books on this topic, and i guess this could be a FAQ topic.
