Okay, then, assuming that Mark records the tradition faithfully, the
question is whether Jesus would have been using Aramaic or Hebrew, and
whether the form ABBA at that time would have been more formal or less. Or,
on the other hand, what Mark intended by putting the word Abba in Jesus'
mouth. I really don't think that we have enough information to go on.
