Thank you for the correction, in fact I simply misread the N-A text. But the textual evidence in Nestle-Aland is very uncertain, and in fact several early MSS (B, D, theta) do have LAMA. Also, was the Aramaic word really LEMA with a clear E vowel, or was the first vowel a sheva? I ask because sheva as well as qamats was usually transliterated as alpha in Greek, in NT, LXX etc. So the epsilon here seems to be a corrupt form whether the original was Hebrew or Aramaic.
