Shlama Akhi Paul,
Thank you for your responses and patience. I still have some bones to pick, however. Is Luke 11:17 discussing a conceptual house and Matthew 12:25 a physical house?
You say "napsha" is not cognate with "self", yet you translate it as "self" many times. I understand that a cognate may not always exist, but still a fairly good approximation may usually exist.
I don't believe in perfect translations; only in the original; yet I do believe the essential ideas may be conveyed through a good translation.
The "two qnomas of Christ" bothers me , because I cannot find it in The Peshitta.
