You may have hit on the answer with your statement though. The author who I referenced claims that in the Greek the word for "head uncovered" in v. 5 should be translated "hair unloosened". I missed this in my study of the Aramaic, and it seems that this isn't an option for Aramaic translation.
The man who authored the site I referenced writes very academically, and my head starts spinning after reading a short bit of it. Combine that with trying to understand what the Aramaic verbiage is saying and I become almost useless quick.
There is a lot going on even by Hebrew/Greek scholars who make the most fantastic claims misusing their title.
Others do a lot to weaken Pauls strong statements about homosexuality and other issues. They even dare to explain that he meant something else.
To me Corintians 11 is quite clear. He meant is as he wrote. There is no need to weaken his opinion.
Sure, you are right to research the issue and even turn to the Peshitta.
