Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Peshitta
2. Long press any word.

Actual result:
An empty word info panel opens (screenshot #1).

Expected result:
Word info panel should be populated by the info from one of two Syriac lexicons I own like it does for the Greek NT (screenshot #2, #3).

Additional bug: Try to long-press on ܗܰܝܡܳܢܽܘܬ݂ܟ݂ܽܘܢ in the end of Matthew 17:20. An extra Syriac end of paragraph mark (܀) will be selected (see screenshot #4).

    I assume the reason for this behavior is that Peshitta doesn't have the lemmata tagging, so my query gets forwarded to the iOS system dictionaries, and there's no Syriac one in iOS. Consider this: SEDRA3LEX already contains all the word forms from Syriac NT, so it would be logical to forward queries to it, instead of the system dictionaries.

    Important: to reproduce the problem, Peshitta should be downloaded to your device.
    When I delete the download from my device, the dictionary starts working as expected.

    I also was able to reproduce the same problem in the Study Bible mobile app.
