ˀḥrny ((ˀ)ḥrē/ānāy) adj. different

Vocalization with /ē/ (LS) follows the singular of ˀwxrn, with /ā/ (PS) the plural. The regular vocalizations of the NT Peshitta in modern editions with /ā/ must be deemed dubious, however, given that ܐ̱ܚܪܵܢܝܵܐ at John 10:1, is surely incorrect; read ܐ̱ܚܪܵܢܵܝܵܐ .
