Notes
Syriac words in Malayalam prayer vocabulary: Antony & Elamma Pathinaril
Antony and Elamma Pathinaril recite the Angelus and Our Father in Malayalam. These prayers include several Syriac words (in their East-Syriac/Chaldean pronunciation). The video sheds light on the liturgical practices until the middle of the twentieth century. Syro Malabar Catholics were at home with these Syriac words which linked their history to the early Christian era. We are thankful to Dr. Martin Antony for organizing the recording of this video. Antony and Elamma are Dr. Martin's parents. The video may be of Joseph J. Palackal, CMIinterest to scholars on the history and development of the Malayalam language.
Syriac words in these prayers:
Slīwā = Holy Cross
Bāwā = Father/parent
Ruhā d’qudšā = breath of holiness/Holy Spirit
Mālākā = messenger/angel
Ummā = mother
Marth Maryam = Lady Mary/Blessed Virgin Mary
Īšō Mšīhā = Jesus the Messiah

It is very important to record this so that we know and understand how a language and its vocabulary is evolved over a period of time. Great effort.. This will be very helpful for scholars.. - Ahmed Shameer - Jan 24, 2019
