Gavin says Aramaic is "the only tongue that is found" in OT & NT i.e. in sentences & "we shall consider the Aramaic sayings of Jesus in St. Matthew 5:22; & some relevance in the NT Aramaic of I Corinthians 16:22 & the Old Testament Aramaic & Hebrew of Gen. 31:47." "I mentioned that in the grammars & lexicons that I thank God I am privileged to have, Aramaic is known variously as Chaldee or Aramaic, & 1 of the books in my library is Benjamin Davidson's The Analytical Hebrew & Chaldee Lexicon … second edition in 1850, … reprinted … by Hendrickson…; & its value lies in the fact that it has both a short Grammatical section in the front & a longer Lexicon section in the back; although both sections need to be complemented by other Aramaic grammars & lexicons. And … for the Aramaic declensions I refer to, I'll be primarily referring to the charts … of this work … taken from 'Winer's Chaldee Grammar;' that is, the work of the German Protestant, George Benedict Winer, who died in 1858, & from whose 1824 German edition came the 1832 English translation entitled Grammar of the Chaldee Language as contained in the Bible & the Targums. The English translation benefited from the work of Elias Riggs, who was born in 1810 in New Jersey, USA, as the son of a Presbyterian clergyman, Elias Riggs Sr. . … During the time of the Ottoman Empire he served as a Protestant Christian Missionary to Eastern Europe & Asia Minor with the American Board of Foreign Missions at Athens in Greece, & both Smyrna or Iznik & Constantinople or Istanbul in Turkey … . Upon his death at age 90 in 1901, he was buried as a USA citizen in the Protestant Cemetery at Ferikov in Istanbul or Constantinople, in Turkey."
