tryn@(&r n01 = tryn@(&r b --> try@(sr b

try ˁsr, trty ˁsry (m. tǝre(n)ˁsar, f. tartaˁesrē) num. twelve

the nun is found in some examples in PTA and GAL and as a variant in LJLA, but it is difficult to be certain if there it is a survival or an innovation based on the simple ordinal "2"; JBA, LJLA תריסר ; the /e/ vowel preceding the ayin in the feminine form would appear to be a secondary development as well, given that both JLAtg and Syr. show /a/ in that position. Definite: trē(n>ˁăsartē
