Thrill us, judge. Try your hardest to make a coherent proposal for your crazy little fancy. Don't just pour other people's used conjectures about their linguistic inadequacies down the forum's throat. Start with a well-defined proposal, giving background historical information and then argue your case putting evidence and counter evidence which you deal with in a persuasive manner. That's your task. Trivial rhetoric doesn't help you a jot. Good luck. And please don't expect me to hold my breath.

Well, that certainly didn't need much of a response (see here ).

judge, you simply can't just rehash other people's poor scholarship. One puny example to support your (only partially stated) case is nothing in itself, even if it were correct. You need a substantial argument backed by a solid array of evidence. You haven't gone down this path and have shown no intention of doing so.

So, we've scratched the abysmal gbr) example, along with the salt example, now along with the Rom 5:7 example and numerous others whose particulars I have now long forgotten, though they can be found in the archives. I have often said that the major problem is that you are in no position to analyse the material you use, so you are not an informed proponent of your case. In fact I don't see why you even entertain the idea. If you can't do what I suggested in a previous post, I don't see why you still put the Aramaic primacy crock forward any more.
