⭐ The largest entry in the shard — eight sub-lemmas, and every one of them a particle or an adverbial phrase built on the root. It carries a NEW Latin device too: 'reddit πρό Graecorum', a Latin sentence saying which GREEK WORD the Syriac renders. Nestle's Latin has labelled, governed, judged and taught a rule; this is the first time it does translation-history. ⚑ And the parenthetical '(cf. ܠܩܽܘܒܠܳܐ)' points at ܩܒܠ (p. 183), the entry that closed the shard's longest-range cross-reference.
Eight sub-lemmas over fourteen forms, most of them ܩܕܡ- with a prefix (ܡܢ-, ܠ-, ܕ-) and differing from one another chiefly in points. The prefixes and the glosses are certain; the internal vocalisation is read at 1.75× and the third sub-lemma's two variants are not fully separable.
