Word play in aramaic and syriac

[Burning one]

Shlama,


that RABBULI is a problem is a red herring. the problem lay with the Greek, which can't decide how to render the term, thus the bazillion* variants there.


*i might have slightly exaggerated in the variant count.

That may very well be the case. I'm simply playing devils advocate and assuming Ishodad of Merv was correct in his assessment that this was a lazy copyist.

Shlama akhi,


devil's advocate OOORRRRRR are we to treat this in a similar manner to the Jewish tradition of looking at every Hebrew "misspelling" in the Tanakh as a hint to something the Spirit is trying to convey? just a thought, but i've actually benefited from commentary on certain nuances / anomalies in the Hebrew text, so perhaps someone should take that route for the Eastern Peshitta....
