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?

Pro 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

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.
