Is MRYA the same as YHWH?

[Paul Younan]

Paul, do you reckon that the 'YAH' could possibly mean the vocative as is 'O'? Hence YAH HUVA could mean 'O He'? If so, maybe we could interpret MAR YAH as 'O He, the Lord'?
Looking forward to your opinion on this!

Shlama Gentile,

I gather from your question that you are very familiar with Arabic. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/wink1.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s -->

I understand why you raise this question. "Ya" in Arabic as a particle indeed means "O!", and is used to a great extent in that Semitic tongue.

This is not present in the Aramaic language.
