  to be slaughtered  JLAtg, Gal, PTA, CPA, Sam, Syr, JBA, LJLA.  TgO Lev6:18 : בְאַתרָא דְתִתנְכֵיס עְלָתָא תִתנְכֵיס חַטָתָא‏  [=MT בִּמְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר תִּשָּׁחֵט הָעֹלָה תִּשָּׁחֵט הַחַטָּאת].  TN Gen22:10 : דנכס לא מעכב ודמתנכס פשט צואריה‏  the one who was slaughtering did not hesitate while the one being slaughtered stretched out his neck.  PJ Ex21:28 : יתרגמא יתרגם תורא ולא יתנכס‏  it must be stoned and not slaughtered.

There is a regular scribal confusion in JLAtg and early Syriac texts between G and D forms; but with the exception of the stories about the "sacrifice" of Isaac, we think the distinction between the use of the G stem with animals and the D stem when people are involved is quite regularly maintained in the better texts.
