I just noticed something on the CAL Peshitta NT. The verses are parsed in a detail I was not aware of. It appears to break it up into Chapters (**) and Sections (*) far better than what we see in normal translations. And the internal (.) and (
parsing is quite useful as well.
However, it appears as though there is no "sentence" structure as we use in modern English, and that it tends to run together with commas and semicolons until it gets to a section or chapter break. Unless we suppose that the "verse" markers are sentence breaks, but they appear not to be a part of the source text.
I noticed also that there are some inconsistencies in how it is parsed, so I suspect that the parsing is at a lower lever than that of the text and pointings, done by a different entity, but yet quite a useful guide in determining how to parse it into English.
