The Aramaic (Syriac) word of the day is: ܓܗܐ(gāhā), "time, ornate room/bridal chamber" pronounced "goho" (West Syriac). From Pahlavi (Middle Persian) گاه (gâh). Seen it more in modern speech than classical, but it& #39;s attested! #Assyrian #Aramaic #Languages #WOTD #WednesdayWisdom
There is an interesting internal conversation within Sureth (Modern Aramaic; colloquially Assyrian) speaking communities about the use of foreign words and whether they should be replaced with alternatives from Aramaic. Contact with Persian has a history going back 2500 years.
