BTW, Nicodemus was a member of the Sanhedrin, and since both men were devout Jews, it is more likely that Jesus and Nic were conversing in Hebrew. Your attribution of speaking Aramaic is your opinion, not a know fact. But then you assert lots of opinions as if you're an authority.

Hebrew was not a spoken language of Palestine in the 1st century, any more than KJV English is today a spoken language. Nevertheless, the same impossibility of a pun, or Nicodemus' misunderstanding, applies to Hebrew.

In order for him to misunderstand "form above" as (remotely meaning) "again" would have required them to converse in sophistated Greek.
