Purple or scarlet?

[Paul Younan]

Thanks Paul, that answer says a lot. Though why does the lexicon say that it is "scarlet" - is it this misunderstanding that confused Zorba also and led to the contradiction in the Greek? What a proof this would be <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

What is the word for scarlet in Aramaic?

Thanks,

Chris

Shlama Akhi Chris,

The Lexicon used on this website was built with data that belongs to The Way International. Although it is a fantastic resource, there are errors in it. Far more reliable is CAL.

The Aramaic word for "scarlet" is Zkhowraytha (the word for "purple" is "Arguna").

Take care.
