It is Aramaic. I don’t speak Aramaic, but this sounds like an odd translation (or rather one done with an academic knowledge, as opposed to speaking). There are no “w” sounds in Hebrew or Aramaic. Modern lexicons refer to a “w” but the sound of a vav in Aramaic and Hebrew is a “v” sound. The reason why I know is that some of the liturgical prayers we pray are in Aramaic (it is close to Hebrew in many instances).

Okay Thanks!

I think it’s a beautiful prayer and language!
