What does "the word is God" or "God is the word" mean? Does anyone know?

Logos is Koine. Wouldn't the original word used for 'word' in relation to Jesus be Aramaic? Has the Aramaic 'word' survived in any text?

Does anyone know where I can find the Hebrew etymology for 'Davar'?

It is unknown whether the gospels were composed in Aramaic first, or were they Koine Greek from the beginning.

That Logos used in the Greek NT is because this word has a long history in Greek philosophy. If the NT was composed first in Aramaic and then translated into Greek, 1) the word Logos does not stand for the Aramaic word 'word' but for something completely different but translatable as Logos, or 2) Jesus used the Greek word Logos in Aramaic untranslated.

If you were to translate 'logos' into Aramaic, do you know what that word would be? Something like Davar or DBR?

I have no idea.

That's John 1:1 from the Peshitta.
The pronunciation of Word in this context is B'MeLeA
Many think that Matthew was written in Aramaic (or at least dictated in Aramaic while a scribe translated it into Greek on the fly.) The reason for that is there are many Aramaic idioms and expressions which are direct translations. Mark was the first gospel written and was written in Greek (Mark was written for Gentiles), while Matthew has many Jewish and Aramaic allusions. The first book of the New testament was Galatians, and that was written in Greek. (Galatia was a Greek speaking city) Most of the apostles spoke Greek as a second language and since most of them were illiterate, they hired scribes to write what they dictated. (Paul was nearly blind by the time he wrote Colosians, so we know that one was dictated, but Galatians and Thessalonians were most likely written in his own hand.) Peter was a fisherman. Do you know any fisherman who can speak more than one language? Maybe they can curse in 5 or 6, but that's about it.

I doubt it, since, as Delodephius explained, in Greek philosophy the idea of logos developed way beyond the idea of 'word' and it was most likely an idea that could be translated as logos.

May I ask, lightheartedly, why you are obsessed with the semitic verb root D-B-R?
