פָּסוֹלָא   n.f.  slag, dross


  slag, dross  JLAtg, LJLA.  TgJ Jer6:30var. : הָא <כ>מכסף פָסוֹלָא מְרַחֲקִין  just as one removes dross from silver.  TgJ Ez22:18 : לִפסוֹלַת כַספָא הֲווֹ.  TgJ Ez22:19 : חֲלָף דַהֲוֵיתוֹן כוּלְכוֹן לִפסוֹלָא  [=MT יַעַן הֱיוֹת כֻּלְּכֶם לְסִגִים].  TgTosPr Isaiah.1:22 : עובדייך הוון דמיין מלקדמין היך כספא סנין איתהפכתא להישתכחא בך פסולא  your works were formerly like fine silver, but you have changed so that dross is now present in you.

  rubble  JLAtg.  TgJ Is51:1 : כפָסוֹלָא דִמְגוּב רֵיקָן אִתפְסֵילתוּן  you have been hewn like rubble from an empty pit.

There is confusion in the JLA texts between pāsōlā and psōlā, and aside from the cited example with taw, we are equally confused as to how many different lemmas are involved here.
