Akhi Steve,
After more responses with him and another, I found out that they don't have any working knowledge of the ANT, to begin with, so they wont be able to meet the challenge. Can you? <!-- s

James E Snap Jr. stepped up to the plate and actually is giving a good swinging effort at meeting the challenge. Here is some of his post.
He said:
"I'll have to get back with you on this to answer the question in detail, but off the top of my head, I seem to recall a Syriac variant which confused stoas (porches) with stoles (robes) -- which is understandable via a misunderstanding of a Greek exemplar in which the letters A and L were miswritten, but not so understandable in the Syriac-->Greek direction."
Then later he said:
"Some time ago I went through the trouble of making a fresh Word document out of Michaelis' introduction to the Peshitta, combined with supplemental materials on the same subject. Michaelis mentioned a number of passages which, on my first impression, appear to meet the challenge that you mentioned.
Here are some of them: Acts 10:3. Philippians 1:1. I Tim. 3:1. Mt. 27:65. I Cor. 7:2, 7:6, and 7:7. Mt. 28:1. Acts 2:30. Mt. 27:36. Acts 2:42.
The reason why each of these verses poses a problem for the theory of Syriac (or Aramaic) Primacy varies from case to case, and the strength of the reasoning might vary as well. Nevertheless there's a list, for consideration; for additional information see the whole introduction."
He then provided this detailed article which deals with these verses and others, here below. I haven't yet looked it over, but plan to...I thought you and others might want to see it as well.
