I always found the Western dialect to be nowhere near as beautiful as the Eastern dialect. I use the AENT to pronounce and transliterate the Aramaic text but the Dagesh pointing can be very confusing, as Roth sometimes transliterates the soft Beit as "W" or "V". He also doesn't places a Dagesh within the Beit in "Abba".
