I view you as an authority on the Aramaic language, the history of the Church of the East, and Peshitta scholarship, Akhi. As a young man who is trying to learn the ropes of Peshitta and Aramaic scholarship, I have grown to admire you and the other scholars on here quite a lot. Your work is greatly and will bear fruit. I would not argue with you about Aramaic linguistics for one very good reason: YOU'RE A NATIVE SPEAKER! One thing a preacher I know said is, "You can make arguments about something, but you can't argue against experience." I think this holds very true in the field of linguistics also.
