Shlama,
sorry for the lateness of the reply, but here's one i've found just in a cursory searching, from Revelation:
8:13 - an eagle with a tail of blood???
you can verify this at Dukhrana here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://dukhrana.com/peshitta/msviewer.php?ms=5&id=617">http://dukhrana.com/peshitta/msviewer.php?ms=5&id=617</a><!-- m --> -- it isn't actually contained in the searchable analytical version of the 1905 text used, but you can read the variant starting with the sixth word from the right in verse 13, or if you have a copy of "The Little Red Book" then check out page 609, again starting with the sixth word from the right. i honestly haven't checked to see how the Crawford reads.
this reading was apparently arrived at by misreading the Greek, correct?
see what i mean? a simple error from Greek-to-Aramaic that makes no real sense in the Aramaic, and i'm assuming will be carried-over into the new English translation that is in the works. i'm just guessing here -- i could be totally wrong, but i'm basing this off the idea that since it is found in the PeshittO text, it will indeed be used, instead of the Crawford. again, i haven't looked into the Crawford hardly at all, as i stated before.
i would ask Distazo if you have any info on how the Crawford reads there? again, it doesn't help much if the Crawford is not going to be used, though... but i'm just doing a bunch of surmising at this point and wouldn't mind being wrong at all! <!-- s:lookround: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/lookround.gif" alt=":lookround:" title="Look Round" /><!-- s:lookround: -->
anyhow, that's all i've really gotten so far. i'll see what else sticks out at me and get back as time allows.
Chayim b'Moshiach,
Jeremy
