primer_note

⭐ The bare EQUATION device (ܢܳܐ = h. נָא, p. 168) used a second time, and here it is the whole entry: '= h. שֹׁפְטִים.' No German, no English, no part of speech. שֹׁפְטִים is 'judges'; whatever this word is, Nestle equates it and moves on.

uncertain yes

uncertain_note

Six glyphs at 3×, read ܦ + ܘ + ܪ (dot above) + ܝ + ܛ + final ܢ. No Syriac word of that shape glossed 'judges' is known to the extractor, and the final descender could be ܠ. Recorded as the glyphs were read, not as a word anyone has identified — the reading and the identification are separate claims and only the first is being made.
