primer_note

⭐ The ܣ section opens on the shard's only entry with a DUAL. Four forms — absolute, emphatic, dual, plural — and then Hebrew alone for the sense. 'seah' is ours, from סְאָה.

uncertain yes

uncertain_note

The dual and plural endings are read ܣܳܐܬܶܝܢ and ܣܳܐܘܳܢ; both are word-final and both carry points the crop does not fully resolve. The four-form structure and the labels 'dualis' and 'pl.' are certain.
