Shlama,
Tim Hegg has just published a paper critiqueing some of the popular Messianic translations out there, and with the popularity of Roth's AENT, he has engaged to a certain degree the argument of Aramaic primacy. Although he has not spent a considerable amount of time engaged with this, his comments are still very noteworthy considering his level of scholarship is, in my opinion, more often than not absent from the investigation of Aramaic primacy (although this is my "too often exposed to pseudo-scholarship" side talking). The paper can be found below,

I would enjoy seeing a professional dialogue with Hegg from those Peshitta primacist veterans around here who have a working knowledge of the language and manuscripts.
Some will also find interest in his critical examination of a few passages within the AENT where he makes clear note of some translation errors. Although he is not familiar with the fact that Roth merely revised Murdock's translation and Younan's interlinear with the exception of Galatians, nonetheless, he brings up some excellent points.
