A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language

by Ernest Klein

A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language is a clear and concise work on the origins of Hebrew words and their subsequent development. Each of the 32,000 entries is first given in its Hebrew form, then translated into English and analyzed etymologically, using Latin transcription for all non-Latin scripts. This etymological dictionary of biblical Hebrew distinguishes between Biblical, Post Biblical, Medieval, and Modern Hebrew, and includes cognate information for Aramaic, Arabic, Akkadian, Ugaritic, Greek, and more! This Hebrew dictionary is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the rich history of the Hebrew language.
