It's important to note that Aramaic, like many ancient languages, has various dialects. This spelling is based on the most common dialect used in the Aramaic Bible and is used in modern Syriac.
Here's the breakdown of the word:
* ס (S) - This is the first letter of the word and represents the "s" sound.
* ל (L) - This is the second letter and represents the "l" sound.
* י (Y) - This is the third letter and represents the "y" sound.
* ח (Ḥ) - This is the fourth letter and represents the "ḥ" sound, similar to the Arabic "ḥ" or the English "ch" in "Bach."
* א (Ā) - This is the last letter and represents the "ā" sound, similar to the "a" in "father."
So, the pronunciation of the word would be "s'liḥā".
