the plate's forgive-sense examples are 'thou hast left thy first love' and 'forsaken eggs'; Ethpe. follows, with a W-Syr. imperative variant noted

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.

fills_gap_for forgive, Lesson 6
uncertain yes

uncertain_note

Only senses f)–h) were read. The entry is long and its senses a)–e) and its opening line (headword forms, fut., participles) were NOT read — they sit above the crop taken. pos and the head-lemma follow from the running head ܫܒܩ and the alphabetical position, not from a direct look at the entry's first line.
