Okay firstly, even if MarYah was disqualified as a name of God (which would go against the Bible and Aramean history <!-- s

""It appears to me, at least in my copy of the Peshitta, that the word "MarYah" is in these verses the exact same way as in other places when it refers to YHVH, except there is a vowel added in these verses. I think it is called the patach in hebrew, if I remember right. So, this makes this word read "MaraYah" instead of "MarYah" even though it has the exact same letters. The aramaic lexicon I found online doesn't make a distinction but just has both as meaning "lord."

I'm impressed. Yes, Maraya has the vowel markings so you see that it are indeed different words, spelt using the same basic letters. The derivations are different also. It is the context which lets us know whetehr it is Maraya or MarYah. I believe that the original PNT and POT had no vowel markings so we really must rely on context. And with tham, we find that no one "person" is ever called by 0yrm, except for God. Alaha Jesus is called 0yrm <!-- s

There is no MaraYah, it is Marayah. The plural for lords in this form has nothing to do with the name YHWH, it is just an irregular plural form of Mara. And MarYah has no plural. It is completely singular. Don't think you're missing anything now <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
