(bd verb Gˁbd
vb. a/e
to make, act, do
| In LJLA the ethpe infinitive is mostly לאיתעובדא , presumably a phonetic change rather than a separate stem. Note, too, that it is impossible to distinguish pael from peal in the impf. of unvocalized LJLA texts. In Mand. usually written historically ABD unlike the frequent spelling of ˀbd "to be lost" with waw instead of beth |

n.m.(f.)
army; force
| const: ḥēl; pl: normally masc., but often ḥaylāwān when used as an abstract idea or in reference to armies in general or in particular the hosts of Heaven. (Jacob of Sarugh, for example, regularly distinguishes betweeen ܚܝ̈ܠܐ for "mighty deeds" or individual fighters and ܚܝ̈ܠܘܬܐ for "armies.") Note, then that Payne-Smith and Levy created a separate, feminine lemma accordingly, where LS2 has just one. See the citations for an ex. of the fem. form of the plural used with masculine concord. |
