Um....are we sure Maryah always = LORD?

[distazo]

Hello Everyone,

I am a bit confused. Please help!

Lord (sir/master) = (?) in Aramaic


Thanks!

Lord is always 'lord' in English, but in Aramaic (and many other languages) there are inflections.
The root-word is 'mar' (eastern) or 'mor' (western) and when an Aramaic writer would indicate 'to the lord' or 'with the lord' the result is _still_ one word, however, it receives a prefix or a suffix.

Here you have all inflections of 'Mar' in Aramaic in the Peshitta.
