Tovey: The PeshittaReader comment on item: How Fares Western Civ?

The Peshitta (OT and NT) are amazing texts and even in the middle of the Greek text of the NT you can hear the Christ saying: ܛܠܝܬܐ ܩܘܡܝ or Young girl stand/rise (resurrect) http://dukhrana.com/peshitta/analyze_verse.php?verse=Luke+8:54&font=Estrangelo+Edessa&size=125%25&source= More? The influence of Syriac/Aramaic even on the language of the Qur'an is really significant and names of persons and prophets in the Qur'an are loan words from Syriac/Aramaic and not Hebrew. Example? Pharaoh. In The Hebrew texts the word Pharaoh is from the Egyptian form of the word and in Egyptian language the word is Per aa or the Big House. In Aramaic/Syriac it is ܦܪܥܘܢ or Pra'on. And in Arabic it is فرعون or Fara'on (notice that Syriac P becomes F in Arabic) More? Check the Title of Chapter 25 of the Qur'an or Surat al-Furqan. However, the Muslim mufasereen had no clue what is the meaning of the word الفرقان or The Furqan. Now you know that Syriac P becomes Arabic F so if we read this word in its Syriac form it becomes Purqana (the a at the end is the definite article) or ܦܘܪܩܢܐ et voila we have the meaning of the word and the Muslim mufasereen were a bunch of ignorant liars! The Aramaic/Syriac language is an amazing language
