פְּגַר פַּגְרָא   n.m.  body; corpse


  (human) corpse  Com. (non-human) carcass  Palmyrene, JLAtg, Sam.

  (living) body  JPAEpig, Syr, BabMBK, Man, LJLA.

In Syriac pgr is usually "body" while šld is "corpse" (but see citations). The variant between those two words at TgJ Jud14:9 is indicative rather that in the Jewish tradition there was uncertainty over whether this word could serve for the carcass of an animal. Note that it is never a living body in JLAtg.
