ZRmfRA Eastern Nestorian
lirsia Western Serto
The above is the most common spelling (91% in Peshitta OT; -88% in 1905 critical Peshitto NT); occasionally the 7 letter form occurs:ly'rsy' Ashuri (10% of the time in The Peshitta OT and 9% in the 1905 critical Peshitto NT.
Very rarely in the Peshitta OT and the 1905 critical Peshitto NT, lyrsy (Ashuri) occurs (5 letters) -about 1% - 3% of the time.
Interestingly, The Eastern Peshitta NT has the short form lyrsy 100% of the time! It occurs 74 times therein.
The Western 1905 critical Peshitto has "Israel" a total of 77 times.
Blessings,
Dave
