Two major dialects of Aramaic: Eastern and Western. The western Aramaic included Hebrew Aramaic. But what about the ancient pronunciation?
Logically, western should produce western. But when we look at maran ata, it matches to the eastern pronunciation. The Greek manuscripts were translated in the west. As we see the ancient western 1st century pronunciation matches more to the modern eastern pronunciation.
