⭐⭐ The second half of the ܦܶܣܚܳܐ/ܦܶܨܚܳܐ split (see g180-pesha-passover-greek). Here the Passover is a DERIVATIVE of a Syriac root meaning 'be cheerful', glossed in German and English; four entries earlier it is a Greek loan glossed τὸ πάσχα. Two etymologies, two spellings, two slots, one feast, and no cross-reference in either direction. ⬜ Whether the finished glossary should join them is a question for the Syriacist, not the extractor.
