Textual Notes
right edge נ]טיר must be wrong. Participles rarely have mater lectionus. Better ש/סטיר since we are looking for a type of measurement here. HALOT *שׂטר: denominative from שְׂטַר: MHeb. סָטַר to strike with the palm of the hand; JArm. I to destroy, II to spread out (Dalman Wb. 288a); Talmud and Mishnah סטר to box the ears; Syr. af. sṭr to set on the side (Brockelmann Lexicon 468b); CPArm. masṭur a box on the ears (Schwally 62, 122); Arb. šaṭara denominative, to halve, divide into two equal parts (Wehr-Cowan 471a); Mnd. SṬR to go to the side (Drower-M. Dictionary 324a).
