OK, probably unimportant, and I'm not sure why I want to know, but I'm curious as to what our Lord's command to the wind and waves would have sounded like. I can find the Greek easily: σιωπάω φιμόω , which would sound like this: see-o-pah'-o fee-mo'-o. But I doubt He was speaking Greek, right? Likely Hebrew or Aramaic. Anybody have an idea what it would sound like in those languages?
 
If He were speaking Hebrew and He said, "Peace. (Please) be still," would it not sound like this:
"Shalom. Be-vah-kah-sha, sha?" Or just "Shalom. Sha..." Virtually a spoken lullaby... Someone who's taken more Hebrew than my one semester is most welcome to correct me.
