I dont know about the mandeans- but I do know that they are not the only
folk who speak aramaic today. Syrian Christians do to some extent as do
others. Syriac texts always use elohey and not alaha or whatever.
Dont know about this site either. Dont know who is the originator or what
their background or training is. So I really cant say anything about their
ideas.

I guess you will have to decide- Kohler and Baumgartner or a web site.
