to keep or render holy, to hallow, sanctify, consecrate, to set apart for holy use; to celebrate holy rites, to give in marriage; to chant the Tersanctus, cry 'Holy, Holy, Holy'
Peal is marked with an asterisk (unattested / root-meaning only); the Pael is the substantive entry; the Ethpaal follows in the same entry and is now transcribed in [[stems]]
printed Serto (West Syriac letterforms), pointed; points present on the plate but not transcribed — see vocalization_note
Payne Smith prints this entry in Serto with vowel points, and the points ARE visible on the plate; they are deliberately NOT transcribed here. The project has no control table for this typeface's pointing (the MUFI lesson: never read diacritic codepoints by eye), so voc is left empty and translit is CONSONANTAL ONLY. The consonantal skeleton, the part-of-speech tag and the English gloss are read directly off the plate and are reliable; the vocalisation is the open item for a reader who can control it.
The consonantal skeletons of BOTH stems - the Pael head lemma and the Ethpaal in [[stems]] - are plate-read from n506 and are reliable. What is still open is unchanged and is VOCALISATION ONLY: not one vowel point in this entry has been transcribed, in either stem. See vocalization_note.

| Ethpaal | ETHPA. | ܐܬܩܕܫ | 'tqdsh | to be sanctified, consecrated; to be joined in marriage | ETHPA. ܐܬܩܕܫ to be sanctified, consecrated; to be joined in marriage. | Vowel points ARE printed on this form and are visible at 8x, and are deliberately NOT transcribed, for the same reason as the head lemma: this project has no control table for this typeface's pointing, and a diacritic is never read by eye. The five-letter consonantal skeleton Alaph-Taw-Qoph-Dalath-Shin is unambiguous - its last three glyphs were compared side by side against the Pael headword four lines above, which prints the bare root. The dot under the Dalath is letter-identifying (Dalath vs. Rish), not vocalisation, and is carried in the codepoint. | The entry carries a small RAISED typographic mark, which the Pael headword carries too (there above the second radical, here at the right-hand end of the word). It is not identified, and is neither transcribed nor interpreted here. | Crop for the re-read: n506 at (195, 2590)-(420, 2690), upscaled 8x. |
