WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT
Core nouns
These nouns train the learner to recognize recurring Aramaic vocabulary and noun-state shapes at the same time. שמיא/ארעא are immediately useful in biblical Targum; מלכא shows the common final-Alef noun form; בר is one of the most recognizable Aramaic kinship words. The course adds house, people, man, day, night, water, word/matter, and Torah where attested. Cognates are shown beside Hebrew, but the Aramaic form is learned as the primary reading object.
