Interjections usually appear at the beginning of a sentence or clause and are grammatically disconnectedfrom the rest of the
|
|
sentence. As in many other languages, interjections in Biblical Aramaic are most likely "natural sounds", i.e. vocal gestures or
|
|
sounds that a person utters when experiencing certain emotions. Interjections can be used to express both positive and negative
|
|
emotions; but in the Aramaic Bible, it is usually some kind of sadness. There are several interjections in Biblical
|
|
Aramaic, and none of them occur very frequently.
