primer_note

⭐ A new Latin formula, and the most useful kind: 'cum vel sine ܦܶܬܓܳܡܳܐ' — the Pa. means 'answer' with OR WITHOUT the word ܦܶܬܓܳܡܳܐ 'word' beside it. Nestle is telling the reader that a two-word idiom has collapsed into one, which is the sort of fact a gloss cannot carry.

uncertain yes

uncertain_note

The second sub-lemma is four glyphs and is read ܦܶܢܝܳܐ; ܦܽܘܢܳܝܳܐ, the form a reader would expect for 'conversion', has five and is what the sense suggests. Recorded as read.
