Questions after a cursory reading of the Syriac section (8.3) in TUS 3.0. Page 200 : do we have to understand from fig. 8.5 that SAM is used to differentiate number in letters from alphabetic letters ? In this case, is this important usage mentioned anywhere ? Page 201 : usage of QUSHSHAYA and RUKKAKHA, mentions the letter "galath" shouldn't this be dalath ? P. Andries
