primer_note

⚑ ܟܶܢܳܪܳܐ on p. 162 is 'Zither | guitar' — the same instrument, from a Semitic root, glossed in the modern languages; this one is the Greek loan glossed by the Greek alone. Twentieth duplicate, and the third of the shard's 'two words for one thing' pairs after the Passover (p. 180) and the crocodile (pp. 168/184).
