Sureth entries for children and young ones

Some English glosses contain more than one meaning. Read the whole label, especially when a word may refer to an age group or a family relationship.

Your vocabulary set

Read each English meaning alongside the Syriac spelling and phonetic guide. Open an entry to copy the text or explore related words.

Try it in context

Sort the English labels into individual and group references. Use the dictionary labels as evidence; do not invent plural forms from the visible letters.

Make this set memorable

Choose the entry you are least confident about and write down its English meaning. Look away, try recalling its phonetic guide, and then check the original entry. Repeat with a second word from this set. Review the same words tomorrow before adding a new topic.

These are individual dictionary entries. Their forms and natural use can depend on dialect and grammar; combining them does not automatically produce a correct sentence. Ask a willing speaker about the words in this particular situation.
