My dictionary is arrived!!!

Nov-21-2001 at 01:07 PM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

Dear Akhi Paul,

today the Smith's dictionary is arrived. It is a copied, binded version but very similar to the original, I think.
My first search was the word 0ns, hate. I checked your translation in Luqa 14.27

It was half hour to find this world... Sorry for the very lame questions but the "font" used by dictionary is very hard to recognise for me - can you help me what is the corresponding letters to the Estrangelo? Imagine, I identified the Semkath and read all words in this section to find it in english

Hard to accept, but hate is hate...

cheers,
Gabor

Ahhh Akhi Gabor - you have found the wonderful joy of trying to decipher the Serto script

This should be of some help: (the 1st line is Estrangelo and the last line is Serto)

Good luck!

Shlama Bro. Biga,

I know a website that will help you considerably I believe. https://www.assyrianlanguage.com/
When the home page downloads you'll see a column of links you can click on the left. Click on "Level 2" and you'll be taken to a page with a table with brief overviews of 32 lessons. Click on "Lesson 53" and it will have a table or chart of half the western or Serto script alphabet.
At the bottom of Lesson 53 you'll see this: "<Lesson>". Click on the right arrow to do a quick jump to Lesson 54 for the other half of the alphabet and a brief discussion of vowel signs used in Serto script and how they differ from the vowel points of the eastern scripts(Estrangela and Swadaya).To make a quick jump from Lesson 54 back to Lesson 53 use the left arrow at the bottom of the lesson-"<"
I really like this because it gives you a good understanding of all the keystrokes needed to do all the different types of characters. For example, Initial gamal at the beginning of a word looks like this-g Medial attached gamal looks like this-v Final attached gamal looks like this-V Final unattached gamal looks like this-G
Once you've downloaded a variety of fonts, you can practice using WordPad,etc. Sometimes I do my doodling and practice exercises on Microsoft Outlook Express using the "New Message" tab and when I'm done just click on the "X" tab to close the page out and when it asks me if I want to change the contents or whatever, I run the cursor to the little circle marked "No" and "the chalkboard is erased" so to speak.
Hope this helps.

Shlama w'Burkate,

Lawrence Raymond Kelsey

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb
