The Verb "To Have" - Syriac and Lebanese

(In Lebanese the Syriac "ܐܺܝܬ̥ ܠ" contracts to "ܐܺܝܠ", where "ܬ̥" is no longer pronounced. And the suffix attached to "ܠ" also contracts, in some cases. The non-contracted form is never written out. So "He has a dog" in Lebanese "ܐܺܝܬ̱ܠܽܘܼܗ̱ ܟܰ̊ܠܶܒ", is contracted to "ܐܺܝܠܽܘܼ ܟܰ̊ܠܶܒ".)
