need some help for my project

I'm working on an altar cloth cover, I need to find how to write the word HOLY in as many languages as I can get. My core languages are Slavic, greek,latin and aramaic. I've got Greek but need the rest. Can anyone help with latin, and most especially aramaic?

Contributions of other languages are also wanted. I know there are many people from around the world here so all or any language is appreciated.

Thank you ever so much!

P.S. Any language not keyboard friendly....maybe you could send an email?

Dcn Nick:

Yup, same project....the idea has grown and I'm almost ready for the border where I want to incorporate the word Holy in as many languages as I can. I will need time to block them out on graph paper, a big task in itself. I will try to post a picture as soon as I can so everyone can see what I mean.

What is the context the word is being used in? If I know that I can help with the Latin.

I want to use the word "Holy" to mean holy or sacred as in an object. This cloth is meant to be used to cover the altar when not in use. As I understand it the priest covers the top of the altar at the end of the service. This cloth will serve this purpose. I want to embroider the word as a border in as many languages as I can fit.

Sanctus is the Latin form.

-yup Nectarius is right on the Latin: Sanctus
-in greek of course (my speciality): Άγιος (pronounced Ah-yee-os)
-Romanian: Sfântul (:D yes I actually know it in romanian)
-In arabic though... if only I knew how to write it, I know it's "mar" (Thanks to my arab speaking yeronda)
-In Serbian is very easy: it's Sveti (in latin letters) Свети (In cyrillic)
-in Ruska (Russian) I think it's: Святой (All russian speakers, correct me if I am wrong)
-in Spanish I think it's " Santo" and Saint I think it's "San"

(and the funny part is, I can't talk any of these languages except for greek, english, french)
