Matthew 24:6 - "rumors" - "reports"
#2
Shlama James,

The Aramaic [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]09m$[/font] is the same in meaning as the Hebrew cognate vmS "Shemay" . Both are nouns from the verb root "Shema", "to hear".
Smith's Compendious Dictionary has "hearing,sense of hearing, noise,sound report,hearsay, narration".

The Greek akoh has basically the same sense as both the Hebrew and Aramaic. That does not rule out the possibility that
the thing heard may be a rumor (i.e. untrue), no matter which word is considered.

All of these words come from the respective verbs which mean, "to hear".They may refer to anything "heard".

Burkhtha w'Shlama,

Dave
