My Aramaic professor threw us a curve last week by asking us to sight-read a passage right out of the Dead Sea scrolls! What made this even more challenging was that the vowel system we had grown accustomed to seeing in biblical Aramaic and Hebrew was nowhere to be found in the text. All that aside, we had a good time with this text, especially since the content was so interesting. Here's a taste.
וכמא נעים ומא רקיק לה שער ראישה
If anyone wants to take a shot a translating this go right ahead.
