⭐ A sub-lemma that is an INFLECTED FORM WITH ITS SUBJECT — ܡܶܨܶܝܢܰܢ 'we can', 1 pl. with the enclitic pronoun — glossed as if it were a word. The glossary occasionally lemmatises a phrase the reader will meet whole.

uncertain yes

uncertain_note

The negated phrase prints ܠܳܐ typographically to the LEFT of ܡܨܶܝܳܐ, the same way ܠܳܐ ܡܫܰܡܠܝܽܘܬܳܐ does on p. 166. Two sightings now, so it is Nestle's setting and not a one-off. Recorded in reading order both times.
