iPad contacts added to iPad now appear only on iPhone

Contacts recently added to/via the iPad aren’t showing up. Not on my iPad, but they’re present on my iPhone. Obviously, there’s a syncing issue, though it seems a little backward. Additionally, the contacts on the iPhone don’t show up in iCloud. To repeat, I added these contacts using the iPad.

I have done the usual steps to fix this: turned iCloud off and back on for Contacts in iPad Settings; restarted the iPad; made sure I was searching through all contacts, then just iCloud contacts. Did the same with the iPhone, including being sure to have contacts stored locally be merged with iCloud contacts when I turned iCloud back on. The phone-only contacts did not move to the iCloud, though.

If anyone has more ideas, I’m all ears. Thx.
