Thanks Harold,

I am just a newbie at Aramaic and I have let Hebrew slide for so long that I
am back to a first year student again. Working in 1Enoch there is just a
hand full of scraps of Aramaic (Qumran) texts to worry about.

Thanks to Ken as well for being real helpful.

Suppose I could join in the Jericho thread but "I kissed dating goodbye" a
long time ago.  :-)))
