When we are speaking of Hatran, the preformative is always -l- (in line with Official Aramaic) and not -n-. Neither is Mandaic applicable, which also is always -l-.
We aren't speaking of every dialect that varied the original Semitic -y-, or even how - but why it happened *specifically* within the "Syriac" milieu.
