Yea, Dylan, I'll show the readings, when I get the books next week sometime. It truly is The Hebreshitta...is it not?
As for the spelling Eshu, there are a few ways you can spell it and reflect the actual Aramaic letters in the Peshitta... A "Y" "I" or an "E" can be used for the 1st letter, Yhod...this is how we got the Greek "Iesous" and the Latin translation of the Greek "Iesu"...even the KJV only readers have to admit that the 1st KJV of 1611 has our Masters Name as "Iesus", before the English language changed the ?I? to ?J?, which made it Jesus...
"Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Uerily, verily I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he cannot see the kingdome of God." John 3:3 <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611_John-3-3/">http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/1611_John-3-3/</a><!-- m -->
So, you see the Aramaic "Yhod", which has an eeeee sound, is seen in the Greek and Latin "Ie" and even the modern English "Je" is the Yhod, but has lost the original sound of the Aramaic, which Geeee, rather than Eeeeee.
So, to spell it, as it sounds, it's best to go with E, rather than Y or even Ye...because you make it sound like ?yeashu?, rather than Eshu or Esho...as it is spelled (both ways) in The Church of the East liturgy books.
Now...since the last letter in the Master's Holy Name in Aramaic, is silent letter, or has the sound of a guttural stop...as talked about before...I think it best to leave it off the spelling, because if you put a letter "a" at the end "Eshua" or "Eshoa"...then you make it sound other than it sounded originally. Which would be Eshu, or Esho...I'm still trying to figure which is the oldest form there with "shu" Shoe, or "Sho" Show....maybe someone can tell us?
That is why I used that form... Eshu... I have put an ' and the end, like Eshu', but it?s kind of silly to do so, since it is silent and it's not even a letter.
So...Eshu or Esho is the closest I think we can get in English to how it originally sounded in Aramaic. I use "Eshu" in my prayers, but He has answered them previously when I used Jesus, and then Yeshua or Yahshua...
