-----------------------
I read somewhere once that the Aramaic language used by Jesus in the
New Testament did not have an equivalent to the English articles `The'
and `A'.  In particular I am interested in the lack of the exclusive
article, `The'.  Does anyone know if this is indeed so?  Scholarly
references only, please.  And please, *please*, any followups of a
religious nature to net.religion *only*.
