Arab lexicographers rarely attempted to search for a foreign origin of Arabic words, trying instead to derive them—not very persuasively—from autochthonous Arabic roots. Known exceptions mostly involve Persian, a foreign language par excellence for most Arab philologists. This article explores this phenomenon in a different linguistic domain, viz., loanwords from Classical Ethiopic (Geʿez), the language ...

В предлагаемой заметке выдвигается гипотеза о том, что ἅπαξ λεγόμενον āmsiṃ ‘?', встретившийся в одном из тохарских A текстов, представляет собой заимствование из арабского ḫamsīn ‘горячий сухой и пыльный ветер, дующий из пустыни'. Данное предположение выглядит вполне допустимым с семантической и фонетической точки зрения, но путь проникновения арабского слова в Восточный Туркестан остается неясным. ...

This article considers a text-unit known in five Syriac codices and consisting of up to
three magical recipes. The target of all these recipes is a mill: two of them are curses
(ˀassārā ‘binding spell’) and intend to stop the mill, while the third one is a counter-spell
(šeryānā ‘loosening spell’), which aims to annul the curse. One ...

The grammar of the village dialects of Ṭuroyo remains poorly described apart from that of Midən, and within the documentation there is a dearth of spontaneous conversations. Consequently, much about Ṭuroyo pragmatics and sociolinguistics in general also remains undescribed. We therefore present two short conversations between three residents of Kfarze in Tur Abdin, concerning a ...

The field studies of Neo-Aramaic dialects that have proliferated recently have yielded
many folklore texts. During the author’s fieldwork (together with Christina Benyaminova) with
one speaker of Neo-Aramaic, the sophisticated plot of a folk story with a hero named Mirza
Pamat attracted his attention. A comparison of this story with other Neo-Aramaic field corpora
has revealed not only that ...
