As such, the \u003ci\u003eGlossary\u003c\/i\u003e pays special attention to the distribution of lexical data along diachronic, diatopic, and diastratic criteria. Given the extent and widely dispersed nature of this data, entries are supported by the most representative corpora of the Old Syrian linguistic landscape. Each entry is headed by an etymon, a kind of prelinguistic consonantal skeleton, and further information about different lexemes, their roots, and their derivations is provided in subentries. As the lexicography of Old Syrian remains uncertain, the \u003ci\u003eGlossary \u003c\/i\u003eincludes leading interpretative opinions alongside the most relevant Semitic material to corroborate the lexical choices it adopts\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e Bibliographical references are succinct and restricted, as a rule, to texts easily found in any Assyriological or Semitic library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntended as a reference work in support of future study, \u003ci\u003eA Glossary of Old Syrian\u003c\/i\u003e offers a clear view of the state of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41780087652449,"sku":"9781646022809","price":124.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_12679201_5478_20241024062940.jpg?v=1729801445","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781646022809-glossary-of-old-syrian","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
