as possible in the 3rd-century BC, into<br />
Since Greek had no equivalent to the semitic letter shin [sh], it was replaced with a sigma, and a<br />

Around 800 AD the U was invented to distinguish the vowel sound from the consonantal sound and<br />

JESUS<br />
which is copied elsewhere in the Indo-european tongues.<br />

Jesus Christ in the Ancient Aramaic language is:<br />
Ea-shoa' M'shee-khah<br />
Eashoa' means, "the Life-Giver."<br />
Msheekha means, "the Anointed One."<br />
Eashoa' Msheekha: The Anointed Life-Giver.<br />
