Bactria
→Etymology: Added etymology proposed by Tavernier (2007). Wiktionarians also derive Bactria from Pers. bāxtar "north (obsolete)" < MPers. abāxtar "north"; plausible (Bactria is tp the NE of the Iranian's plateau) yet unfortunately unsourced.

Sons of Zadok
→Sadducees: Added one more source (Josephus apud Meier) about the Sadduccees' origin. Still, I think Geiger is correct here considering that Josephus and ARN's author were Pharisees and had every reason to deny their Sadduccee rivals had any connection to Zadokites & Zadok.

Vietnamese name
→Middle name: Added Major Nguyễn Lê Thị An (an instructor at Telecommunications University "Trường Sĩ Quan Thông Tin")'s name as another example of how "Thị" is used as a middle name.

Vietnamese name
→Other: In Vietnamese culture, women always keep surnames; they are merely referred to by their husbands' 1st names (like in a few old-fashioned northern communities) or last names informally, not in formal contexts or official documents

Hummus
→Etymology and spelling: Removed sources which do not support the claim that hummus was mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Added source (Shalev, 2001) which claims so; as well as states that in fact Nussbaum (2021) criticizes Shalev.

Hummus
Moved the claim about the alleged appearance of "ḥummuṣ" in the Bible towards the end of "Etymology and spelling". Also reworded "which can be derived from [...]" > " which they derive from supposedly from", considering Hebrew ḥimṣā "chickpea" & its cognate Aramaic ḥumməṣā / ḥimməṣā are from root ḥ-m-ṣ Hebrew ḥomeṣ "vinegar", Jewish Literary Aramaic ḥūməʕā, & Arabic ḥāmiḍ are derived by two linguists from another root ḥ-m-ṣ̂

White Army, Black Baron
→History: Added sources about possible source for the melody. Compare the melody sung to the words "vehres hot nor ungegrait" (in DZmK) to that sung to "свой штык мозолистой рукой" (in WABB)
