Ahaa, I understood.
Let me recap, if this says Holy, then the noun is missing, that is, Holy what?
Its confusing because in the english you always see the verse say, that which is Holy.And you assume somehow thats how the Greek or in this case Aramaic wording works.
No one would accept "give not Holy to dogs" and it seems to me that if you take the word as being Qudsha, then thats exactly what you have, even in the Aramaic.
So you would need the sentence to go something like give not "ay Mdem (anything) Holy to Dogs"
Thank you for helping me understand Paul, its so useful being able to ask questions, Ive seen this in Lancasters book, Roth's and now here, but until I asked It still didnt quite click.
