Casus pendens, non-verbal predicate and subject

[Paul Younan]

Shlama Akhi Stephen,

I think you hit the nail on the head. The translators of the Aramaic NT revered the text in front of them. They sought to produce a literal translation like the LXX....even at the expense of the Greek grammar. They followed the Aramaic almost word-for-word whenever they could get away with it and have SOMEWHAT of an understandable Greek.

Do you know of other specific Aramaic grammar rules, like Casus Pendens that show that the New Testament Greek follows the Aramaic?

Yes, there are many more rules that I will demonstrate on different posts. For now, I will show 4 or 5 examples of this rule then I will move on to others.
