Shlama Akhi Yochanan,
"Maran etha" is the Eastern and Western Aramaic transliteration. The Greek texts have "Maran atha" (Majority Greek) and "Marana tha" (Critical Greek) , indicating
the 1st century pronunciation probably differed from today's Aramaic dialects, though perhaps Jewish Aramaic as spoken in the Middle East resembles 1st century Judean Aramaic. I know Paul Younan mentioned that he knew Jews in Iraq who speak Aramaic.
Burkta,
Dave
