I find that this is a great help in searching the Aramaic Scriptures, to look up words and their various uses in the Peshitta.

Once you learn how these work, you will be able to deeply study what the Aramaic text says, both in the Western and Eastern forms, and can compare a number of Peshitta translation in English, as well with the Greek and Latin forms of the New Testament text as well. It is true blessing to be able to use these tools. If you havent used them, then please ask for help and one of us who use it can help you. Brother Stephen Silver has much to do with it, and is more the expert on how it all works, though I have learned how it works pretty good. The Old Testament portion of the Holy Scriptures is planned to be added in the future with God's help.
I have found the way for instance to look up a single word, like "Law" or the Aramaic forms of Namusa and Orayta, and click to see where all the places each are used in the New Testament. This is like the Englishmans Concordance I used to study the Greek form of the Scriptures years ago...which is a big help in see which Aramaic word is being used in context, where a single English word for multiple Aramaic words might be used in translation. Again, I can help you out in useing this function...just message me directly, and I can walk you or anyone else through the procces until you get it down.
