Well, I have never heard THAT before! All of the references I have
seen give New Testament Aramaic and Old Testament Hebrew the sort of
relationship that modern German and Old Norse have. I.e. a sort of
avuncular relationship, not even a direct one - let alone calling
Aramaic merely a dialect of Hebrew!

"Son"/"sohn" means "son" in both German and Old Norse.
