lousewort — A mountain meadow plant of the genus Pedicularis. Khapaev and Khapaeva 2022 give the name for both the crested lousewort (Pedicularis comosa) and the Moor-king lousewort (Pedicularis sceptrum-carolinum). It was traditionally used to wash the hair against lice and dandruff and to treat skin scabs. The name is literally "nit grass", from sirke "nit" and ot "grass". one source

The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: sirke-otları can mean "his / her louseworts", "their lousewort", or "their louseworts" — context decides.
The endings are the same ones the pronouns wear — that page explains when each case is used.
