« if “Targum” always means Targum Onqelos.  Thanks.
 
All the best from Michael»
 
As per the Talmud Onkelos translated Humash and Yonassan ben Uziel translated N'vi'im 

The nature of Targum YBU on Humash is shrouded in mystery, and afaict Rashi never saw it.  [Even RMF/IM expresses some reservations re: Targum YBU on Humash re: Lo Silbash ICW a woman wearing a Tallis.]

Also note that there was/is a Targum Aquila and a Targum shiv'im on Humash.

Shalom and Regards, RRW
