LS2 assumed that this root was a secondary form derived from a T stem of kss #2 : "to reproach". That may be so, but it is no reason to propose in his final gloss that the form ܡܬܬܟܣܐ, which clearly does mean "it is reproached" is from this verb or that a G verbal noun form could mean "vituperation" (note that Sokoloff has deleted it). The two roots are clearly semantically separate within Syriac.
