According to the Greek language Bible -- the New Testament was originally written in Greek -- Talitha (ÔáëéèÜ, if you can see Greek fonts) is accented in the last syllable, i.e. Talith-A.

I assume that Mark properly transcribed the name's Aramaic intonation into the Greek alphabet. Maybe its a heroic assumption on my part; I guess any guess would be couterfactual...
