With my SuSE distro, I think I had to place some .ttl files in the 
right place but I can't remember where I got them from.
I'm working with a Slackware distro which is very hands on and has 
little to no focus on GUI admin. Do you know where I can download 
the .ttl fonts to get it working?

It depends on what distros of linux you are using. If
you install ubuntu, it already has the fonts in the
package. I am not sure about redhat, mandrake, debian,
or suse.

True, such as that some people when speaking Aramaic may have used the
Hebrew word for God. But it is still the Hebrew word, not the Aramaic
word, although I accept that the last word in the quotation is Aramaic.

Well, there is the problem! People with NT doctorates don't tend to know
more than basic Hebrew and Aramaic, and so tend to trust what they hear
from others. But who are the others they are relying on? As for the
journalists, you must be joking to cite them as authorities. But the
real point here is that you are never going to convince me on any
argument by citing modern authorities, rather than giving actual evidence.

The last word is. LAMA looks to me like a perfectly good Hebrew word for
"why", although I agree that it can also be Aramaic. In fact LAMA is the
very Hebrew word used in the original of Psalm 22:2 (v.1 in English),
although to confuse matters the Hebrew is ELI not ELOHI.

Well, I accept that Greenspahn knows his Aramaic. But does he actually
explain how ELWI can be Aramaic? I suppose the Aramaic form could be
ELAY and this just might have been pronounced something like ELOY. But
this is the kind of argument I was expecting from you, rather than
citing endless authorities who simply copy from one another. And is the
long A in ELAY became omega, why are none of the other long A's in this
verse transcribed as omega?
