Aramaic Primacy in the East
#49
Shlama Akhi Distazo,

My apologies for accusing you of advocating for Greek primacy. I thought that because the topic of this thread is Aramaic primacy, we would stay on that topic.

I now realize you are advocating for a possible "typo" or scribal error in the eastern text, with the inclusion of a taw by a scribe in the eastern tradition. I find that scenario unlikely. Firstly, because the immediately preceding verse lacks the taw. Secondly, because the OS (hardly an eastern text) has the taw in all verses, not just v.19. Thirdly, a scribe is far more likely to omit a letter during a copy error, than to include it. Finally, as in English, this particular body of water is referred to in Aramaic as both a lake and a sea. (In Luke's version of the story, Yamtha is used exclusively.)

As I stated in my previous post: Yama and Yamtha refer to size, not whether or not it's a salt or fresh body of water. It's not like sea or lake in English. Lake Michigan here in Chicago is called Yama in Aramaic, not because it's a sea but because of its size. A smaller lake by my home in the suburbs of Chicago is called Yamtha. The feminine is used for smaller lakes.

A medium sized body of water, like the Sea of Galilee, can be referred to as both Yama and Yamtha interchangeably. If you are out in the middle, you might call it Yama. If you are near to the shoreline or a bay, you might refer to it as Yamtha.

So whether you are advocating for a scribal error within the Aramaic transmission of the text, or whether someone advocates for a Greek primacy position .... This is a poor example of either.
