This is a concise, pocket sized English to Lao and Lao to English
Dictionary
Prior to the compilation of the original edition of this dictionary
in 1966, the most comprehensive English to Lao dictionary was the
LAA (Lao-American Association) Dictionary. At that time, no
Lao-English dictionary was available. Now, a great deal of time has
passed since the first Tuttle edition of the "English-Lao,
Lao-English Diciontary" was published in 1970. During that time,
the dictionary has become the basic communication tool between Lao
people and English speakers all over the world. It is a handy
volume with many user aids such as romanized equivalents of Lao
script, tone numbers indicating the tone of each syllable,
vocabulary selected on the basis of frequency of use, and guidance
on how to look up words both in the Lao and English alphabetized
lists for those encountering either language for the first time.
having been completely revised, this language tool is all the more
essential.

Recent archeological and linguistic evidence reveals that the Jews
of the New Testament era spoke Hebrew, not Greek as has been taught
for so many years. With this revelation, we can conclude that the
teachings of the New Testament were first conveyed, either in
spoken or written form, in Hebrew, which means that the New
Testament must be understood from a Hebraic perspective and not a
Greek one. The first step in this process is to translate the Greek
words of the New Testament into Hebrew. While translating the Greek
words into Hebrew, may sound overwhelming for many, it is in fact,
a very simple process that anyone can perform, even without any
prior studies in Greek or Hebrew. All that is required is a
Strong's Concordance and this book. This book lists the five
hundred most frequent Greek words of the New Testament and provides
their Hebrew translations and Hebraic definitions, with all Greek
and Hebrew words cross-referenced with Strong's numbers.
