When it comes to using Greek on this forum, you don't need to worry a thing unless you see me getting banned. 
I really hope you will get an answer from someone who knows Aramaic semantics. While we are waiting:
CAL connects ܡܓܪܬ with the verb ܢܓܪ. It gives to endure as the first meaning, but for the Aramaic word, BDB gives be long, prolong, protract, endure, flow, stream. For Hebrew נגר pour, flow, run.
The expression ܐܓܪ ... ܪܘܚܐ occurs in Matthew 18:26,29.
Then there is Psalm 76 (77): 2(3)
On the other hand, there is striking similarity between the words ܡܓܪܬ and μακρος, which has IE √ *makro- or *məkro. Similar words in IE languages:
מאגער (Yiddish) slim/lean/thin
mager (German, Nordic) meagre/slim/lean/thin
macer (Latin) lean/meagre "Of inanimate things: thin, poor, barren" — Glossa
Could ܡܓܪܬ be Indo-european?

εν ημερα θλιψεως μου τον θεον εξεζητησα
ידי לילה נגרה
ταις χερσιν μου νυκτος εναντιον αυτου
--
ולא תפוג
και ουκ ηπατηθεν
מאנה הנחם נפשי
απηνηνατο παρακληθηναι η ψυχη μου
