Hi everyone,

Guess what this Aramaic name/symbol is referring to:



God bless,

Rony
 
I will give you a hint. It is the same as in Hebrew:



God bless,

Rony
 
I have no knowledge of either and didn’t look at the properties to get hints so I’m going to take a wild guess. Based on the three dots on top, one dot on bottom, I’m going to guess it is the Trinity.
 
YWHW, ho on, I AM, LORD

But then I know Aramaic. Was that cheating?

I do recall seeing this a lot I think among the Assyrians. Am I remembering correctly?

Yes, but it’s ok 😃

Everyone,

As Isa pointed out, this represents the inexpressible and unfathomable Divine name of God: YHWH (I see that Isa has gotten his letters mixed up 😃 )

Specifically, the symbol above in Syriac/Aramaic script and in Hebrew script is an abbreviated form of YHWH, the first two letters: YH. Chaldeans and Assyrians pronounce YH as Yah. Typically, we say Mar Yah to show honor to Yah the LORD.

And yes, this is where the term LORD is based on. This is also where I AM and its Greek equivalent is based on. You see this often in Byzantine iconography around the head and face of Jesus (a letter on top, a letter on the right side, and a letter on the left side of His face).

Yes, both Chaldeans and Assyrians use it a lot.

I want to point out that Woodstock was on the right track with his mentioning of the three dots on top and the one dot on bottom. This does indeed represent the 3 in 1 in God. Three Divine Qnome in one Divine Kyana. So, the dots represent the Trinity, but the name itself is not the Trinity (which is Tleethayootha in Chaldean Aramaic).

PazFeAmor was close. BeeSweet!, good guess.

By the way, next time you sing Halleluyah, remember what you are really saying: Hallelu Yah, which means Praise Yah, or Praise the LORD!

God bless,

Rony

😦 Oh well, I thought I was going to get it since in every website where I have seen the prayer of the “Our Father” written in Aramaic it is exactly as it is in the image you posted. Here’s one of the websites with the “Our Father” prayer. As you can see the title of the “Our Father” prayer is written just like in the image you posted.

Also, on Jimmy Akin’s site the “Our Father” is written almost the same with only a slight variation in the first letter.

Anyways, I am not a linguist. 😉 All I know is that Christ spoke Western Aramaic. That’s as far as my knowlege goes. lol

Thanks for making me use my brain. 😃

God bless

PazFeAmor,

Very good response. Here is how you can tell the difference:

Notice that the first black word in the prayer (right to left) is:



Now, compare this black word with the red word in question:



You will right away see that there is a difference.

The black word is the word for Our Father.

God bless,

Rony
 
Jimmy,

I see what you are saying. The computer program does, however, make a distinction in the way the two are shaped:

The yodh has a pointy top.
The noon has a fat top.

You can see it side by side in this word:



Good observation 🙂

God bless,

Rony

For those wondering what that word means, you can tell by its relative place in the our Father prayer… “Your Will”

Peace,
