Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Assyrian Manual: For the Beginners in the Study of the Assyrian Language
In the glossary the etymological arrangement has been followed, but for ease of reference most words with formative prefixes have been twice entered. In the ease of weak stems, there are, of course, many instances in which a doubt exists about one or more letters. In such cases the provisional stem indicated by Hebrew letters is only intended to aid in using the glossary. Progress in the study will undoubtedlv make many corrections in any attempt to assign to each word its tri-literal stem. The first word in bold-face type after the Hebrew letters is in the case of verbs the infinitive of the form, I 1 (qal), the Hebrew letters, however, being regarded as sufficient in cases where I was in doubt as to the Assvrian form of the infinitive. 'in the case of other words than verbs the word in bold-face type rep resents the absolute form of the noun, etc. Only those forms which are followed by a reference to page and line actually occur in this collection of texts. The division of the word into svllables is the same as explained above. Words for which I have no definition are followed by five dots I have tried to make the references complete in the case of words occurring but few times, but this course did not seem necessary in the case of those which occur with great frequency.
