remnant JLAtg, PTA. TgO Gen32:9 : אִם יֵיתֵי עֵשָׂו לְמַשרִיתָא חֲדָא וְיִמחֵינַה וֻתהֵי מַשרִיתָא דְיִשתְאַר לשיזבותא‏ should Esau come and attack one camp then the remaining camp will be a remnant. TN Num21:35 var. : ושצון יתיה ٠٠٠ עד די לא אשתייר לה שזבו‏ they destroyed him ... until he had no remnant left.

In most JLA contexts, this form is merely the construct of a verbal infinitive, but it is clearly an independent word in LJLA.
