 Syriac-English Dictionary

The dictionary contains all of the Syriac words used in this book, as well as numerous frequently
used ones that were not included in the texts. It contains nearly all the words that appear in the New
Testament, except for personal names mentioned no more than once.

For ease of use, the dictionary follows the alphabetical order. Therefore, the ʼAꝑˁel, ʼEṯpˁel,
ʼEṯpaˁˁal, and ʼEttaꝑˁal verbs are listed under ālaꝑ.

The nouns and adjectives are listed in the emphatic state. The irregular or unpredictable absolute
forms of nouns and adjectives are included in round brackets. In cases where construct and absolute
state forms are not the same, the absolute form is indicated first, followed by the construct form.

In the same manner, the round brackets contain only the irregular plural forms (identifiable by
syāme). If both the absolute state and plural forms are indicated, then the absolute (and construct)
forms come first, followed by the plural form. Multiple plural forms all follow theܺ slash separated
by commas (the same applies to absolute ܳ ‫ ܐ‬is followed by
word ‫ܝܕܐ‬
ܳ ܳ ܰ ̈ ܺ ܳ and
ܳ ܰ ̈ ܺ construct
ܳ ܰ ̈ ܺ ܶ ̈ ܺ forms).
ܺ ܰ Thus, the
ܰ ܺ
the following words in brackets: )‫ ܐܝܕܗܬܐ‬،‫ ܐܝܕܘܬܐ‬،‫ ܐܝܕܝܐ‬،‫ܐܝܕܐ‬/‫ܐܝܕ‬/‫(ܝܕ‬, where ‫ ܝܕ‬is the absolute form, ‫– ܐܝܕ‬
the construct, and the other four words separated by commas are the plural forms.

The square brackets after the Pˁal verbs contain the 3rd person masc. sing. form of the future tense:
ܶ ܶ‫]ܢ‬. With the verbs of other stems, the square brackets contain the name of the stem and the
ܳ ]‫ܩܪܐ‬
‫ܩܪܐ‬
ܶ ܶ ܶ ܶ
corresponding Pˁal verb: ‫] ܰܒܪܟ‬pa. < ‫]ܒܪܟ‬, i.e. the Paˁˁel verb ‫ ܰܒܪܟ‬formed from the Pˁal verb ‫ܒܪܟ‬. In
certain cases, the brackets contain a verbal root, which can be recognized by the absense of vowel-
signs; this means that the root does not form a Pˁal verb. If the verb is formed from a noun, that
noun is mentioned in the brackets instead of a Pˁal verb or a root.

Verbal stems abbreviations:

p. Pˁal etpwl. ʼEṯꝑawˁal

etp. ʼEṯpˁel pyl. Payˁel
pa. Paˁˁel etpyl. ʼEṯꝑayˁal
