Well, it helps that so many of the other study groups are kind of dead.
We are supposed to choose synonyms from the following text (di nivîsa jêrîn de) in this exercise -- and it seems like you picked them from elsewhere.
Yeah, because I'm crazy enough to try doing something like that at five in the morning sometimes before going to sleep! I had a feeling I was going about it wrong and was supposed to actually read the text first...
I really like your song choice! How did you come across those songs?
Thanks! I'm pretty sure I just looked up Qedrîcan on YouTube since you'd suggested it before, and these songs basically came up as recommendations from YouTube.
This song is an example:

If I understand well, this song says that a mîr went to a battle on his horse, was wounded and died, and his men were forced to flee (because their lands were plundered?), so they are crying over their mîr's death.
Thanks again! I'm going to listen to it while trying to read the second passage and do the next exercise. I guess these kinds of songs are a bit like songs glorifying historical (or current) leaders in other cultures.
Anyway, here's (my attempt at) exercise #2, section B:
(1. çewt) 2. çewt 3. çewt 4. rast 5. rast 6. rast
Another song I listened to, recommended by YouTube from the other song:
