Notes gone after sync with iPad

I synced my iphone (with lots of Notes) with an iPad (no Notes), but instead of all the Notes showing up on the iPad, both are empty and there's nothing in Recently Deleted. How do I get them back?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

Where were the Notes? See the pic below. You will get your answer

The recently deleted folder will exist only if you deleted Notes from iCloud or from the "On My Phone" Folder. Deletion from other Folders does not use Recently Deleted Sub-Folder.
