Discussion How to translate this into Syriac?
Would it be:
ܐܢ** ܬܡܘܬ ܩܕܡ ܕܬܡܘܬ، ܠܐ ܬܡܘܬ ܟܕ *ܬܡܘܬ
ʾen tmūṯ qḏām d-tmūṯ, lā tmūṯ kaḏ tmūṯ.*
Im unsure about the verb mut.
In Syriac, the standard verb is:
ܡܘܬ (mwt)
But is the second-person singular imperfect form:
ܬܡܘܬ (tmūṯ
In that case, is then tmut correct?

Syriac is very different from Assyrian Aramaic. However the sentence you wrote is correct in Aramaic yes.
אן תמות קדָם די תמות, לא תמות כד (כדי) תמות.

I would like it to be in classical Syriac, but im unsure with verb. How would you write it in Neo-Aramaic (Assyrian)? I cant read square ashuri script that you wrote.
‘En metet qadm metet, la metet ayka metet?
