⭐ The most consequential word in the glossary is a sub-lemma. ܡܫܺܝܚܳܐ 'Christ' is filed as a derivative of 'anoint' with no comment, and glossed 'Christus | Christ' — the second same-word collapse in two pages after ܡܰܪܺܝܪ 'bitter | bitter'. The entry's two senses, 'anoint' and 'measure', also make the pair ܡܫܺܝܚܳܐ / ܡܫܽܘܚܬܳܐ a sense-split in miniature.
