The HittiteEtymological Dictionary is a comprehensive compendium of
the vocabulary of Hittite, one of the great languages of the
Ancient Near East, and of paramount importance for comparative
Indo-European studies. Since the start of publication, as evidenced
by frequency of reference and quotation, this work has become an
important tool for study and research in Hittite, Ancient
Anatolian, and Indo-European linguistics.

Beth Qatraye was an important cultural, linguistic and religious
crossroads in the pre- and early Islamic periods. In this reissue
of a facsimile edition of Duval's edition of Bar Bahlul's lexicon,
Duval's Latin introductory material has been translated into
English by Samuel Barry.
Volume 1 of A Grammar and Dictionary of Indus Kohistani contains
around 8.000 lemmata, many of which are supplemented with parallels
from adjacent dialects, from other Dardic, from Nuristani,
Indo-Aryan, Iranian, Dravidian and Munda languages, and from
Burushaski. The lemmata have been, wherever possible, provided with
information about their origin, and they are connected by numerous
cross-references. Since Indus Kohistani is a pitch accent language
with complicated rules governing the behaviour of the two pitch
accents in compounding, derivation, and inflexion, the lemmata are
not only marked with their appropriate pitch accents, but the
behaviour of the accents (change of value, shift) is illustrated
with a large number of inflected forms and cross-references. And
since Indus Kohistani has a rich (and frequently irregular) inner
and outer conjugation, most verbs are provided with many finite and
participle forms. In addition, the dictionary contains two indexes
(English - Indus Kohistani and Old Indo-Aryan - Indus Kohistani),
and lists with place and clan names, names of the months, etc.
Witty, entertaining, and informative, this book on so-called 'false
friends' will be of immediate use to anyone using the French
language and needing to understand French society and culture. The
individual entries have been carefully designed to carry the basic
linguistic information required and then develop into a wider
consideration of the social and cultural context within which the
specific words and phrases are used in current French. As this
title is supposed to be used in conjunction with and not instead of
a dictionary, it also offers a brief list of recommended reading
ranging from standard dictionaries to introductory works on French
society and institutions.
