File:Early Syriac alphabet form of the name of Jesus.svg
Summary
Early Syriac alphabet form of the name of Jesus. This represents a consonantal spelling YŠW`. When systems of vowel annotation were developed after 500 A.D., the Eastern Syriac pronunciation of this name emerged as [īšōʕ], while the Western Syriac pronunciation emerged as [yešūʕ]. The original pronunciation in 1st century A.D. Judean or Galilean Aramaic (not a Syriac language) was almost certainly [yēšūʕ] (corresponding to Tiberian Biblical Hebrew [yēšūaʕ]). Note: The letter ` or sound [ʕ] represents a voiced <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharyngeal" class="extiw" title="en:Pharyngeal">Pharyngeal</a> consonant.
