I totally understood your point in the first post, I don't need to see the Hebrew behind your examples as you're not telling me something I didn't already know.
I don't think you understood my point. The angel didn't need to speak in Hebrew in order for Miriam to understand what the name Joshua means. The name was popular for centuries before Miriam was born. Everyone knew what it meant in the old Hebrew language. There was no explanation necessary. Our Lord wasn't the first man to be named Joshua.
In fact, an argument can be made that the angel spoke to Miriam in Aramaic, since he went on to explain the choice of the name to her.
