Usage notes

[edit]
  • (above, over): This phrase is used when something is above another thing in general. When something is on it, the word ܥܲܠ (ˁal) is used.
  • (super-): Typically used to form calques from Greek, English, and other languages in the form of a prepositional phrase. ܥܲܠܲܘܲܝ (ˁallaway) is also interchangeable in the form of a prefix, however ܠܥܸܠ ܡ̣ܢ is preferred and more common.
