ARAMAIC DICTIONARY

As you know, I already have the "A Compendious Syriac Dictionary", by R. Payne Smith. The script is extremely difficult to read, and it is not organized as well as it should be. ROOTS are barely legible and distinguishable from their Lexemes, and compound forms. In other words, I'm in the market for something in the Estrangelo Script, and a little better organized. I can afford paying "a little more", for something that will give me "years of enjoyment".
Is there something out there, that's "readily available"? Bigger is better, and I find the Estrangelo script easy enough to read.

Sh'lama Akhi Stephen,

Is the Syriac Dictionary in Serto or something?

I would like to purchase a dictionary also and was thinking of the CSD.

Please help us Paul.

Iakov.

Yes it is, the Compendious Syriac Dictionary is in Certo Script, that looks like a "squiggle". It's all I have for now, so I'm happy that I have something to cross-reference, with the on-line Aramaic-Lexicon and Concordance, at "peshitta.org". It's more detailed in definition, than the "on-line Lexical-Concordance". However, it's quite difficult to read. I'd be interested in purchasing something in the Estrangelo or Common Script.

Shlama Akhay,

Unfortunately, that is the only widely-available Aramaic dictionary until the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon is complete - you can find out more information about it here:


https://cal1.cn.huc.edu/

There are several Aramaic-Arabic, Aramaic-French, Aramaic-German, etc. dictionaries out there. But unfortunately, they are mostly out of print.

This is why projects like the CAL (above) and also Beth Mardutho's eBethArke are so important.

In the meantime, what do you think about having a new section on this website where all the English words are listed alphabetically with hyperlinks to the Lexical Concordance entry(ies) for that given English meaning?

Sort of like a 'English Language Supplement to the Lexical Concordance?'
