printed Serto (West Syriac letterforms), pointed; points present on the plate but not transcribed — see vocalization_note

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.
