Dictionary of Western Neo-Aramaic

《西方新亚拉姆语词典》收录了我从三个讲新亚拉姆语的叙利亚西部村庄Ma‘Lula，Bax’a and Gubb‘Adin出版的四卷著作的全部词汇表，另外还有Bergsträsser，Correll，cantarino和Parogic收集的范围较小的较旧文献的词汇表。叙利亚内战导致叛军占领了两个亚拉姆语村庄，并驱逐了这些村庄的居民。部分居民已返回一个村庄，另一个村庄至今仍无人居住。因此，一本包含所有三种方言的词典将来不能再编纂了。在此背景下，本文提出的作品具有独特的重要性。叙利亚的西新阿拉姆语是唯一幸存下来的西阿拉姆语变种。因此，这本词典对于理解古老的西阿拉米亚方言、犹太-巴勒斯坦方言、基督教-巴勒斯坦方言和撒玛利亚阿拉姆语具有特别重要的意义。然而，由于其众多的词源注释，它也将是比较阿拉姆语和闪族研究的重要工具。

The dictionary of Western Neo-Aramaic includes the entire vocabulary of my four volumes of published texts from the three Western Neo-Aramaic speaking Syrian villages, Ma ‘lula, Bax’a und Gubb‘ adin, which is supplemented by the vocabulary of the less extensive older texts collected by Bergsträsser, correll, cantarino and Parisot.The civil war in Syria led to the occupation of two of the Aramaic villages by rebels and the expulsion of their inhabitants. The inhabitants have partly returned to one village, today the other one is still uninhabited. A dictionary that includes all three dialects can therefore no longer be compiled in the future. Against this background, the work presented here is of unique importance.Western Neo-Aramaaic in Syria is the only surviving variety of Western Aramaic. The presented dictionary is therefore of extraordinary importance for the understanding of the older West Aramean dialects, Jewish-Palestinian, Christian-Palestinian and Samaritan Aramaic. With its numerous etymological annotations, however, it will also be an important tool for comparative Aramaic and Semitic studies.
