Yes, get a group to instead revise the existing translations (Etheridge or Murdock) using the Eastern / ACoE manuscripts and also consulting Etheridge, Murdock, and Norton texts. <Not using the Khabouris though, because it is copyrighted. >

What's your opinion on this?

<!-- s:crazy: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/crazy.gif" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /><!-- s:crazy: --> There needs to be new translation of the Peshitta as much as there needs to be another few newly fractured denominations within the Christian tradition.

My suggestion: Work with Murdock (which, for all intents and purposes, is pretty good to begin with) and focus your study of the Peshitta text, itself, to where you have difficulty or take issue with his choice of words.

Another "new" translation will only add more noise to an already noisy topic. <!-- sCool --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/cool1.gif" alt="Cool" title="Cool" /><!-- sCool -->
