Usage notes
Despite being predominantly associated with the Taraškievica orthography, this word also has some usage in the official Belarusian orthography texts. For example, the 1952 reprint of Jakub Kołas's poem still kept this word rather than replacing it with сімвал. Also the Mikałaj Kurjanka's German-Belarusian dictionary lists both сы́мбаль and сі́мвал side by side as if they were synonyms.
