⭐ Both derived nouns are spelled with initial ܐ — ܐܺܝܩܳܪܳܐ 'honour' and ܐܺܝܩܰܪܬܳܐ 'burden' — and both are filed here under ܝ, the third and fourth such words after ܐܺܝܕܳܐ and ܐܺܝܡܳܡܳܐ. ⭐ And they are a near-homograph pair meaning opposite things: what you carry with honour and what you carry as baggage.
