Preface Most students of Syriac are introduced to the text of the Syriac New Testament in their first year of studies. The main task facing the student is studying the meanings of the words which constitute the text. Learning the most frequent words, moving to the less frequent ones, the student's understanding of the text expands rapidly. Lexical Tools to the Syriac New Testament aims to provide the student, among other aids, with such a tool. This work is divided into ten sections, each providing the student with a different tool. Sections 1,2 and 3 provide three frequency lists: word list, proper noun list, and a list of Syriac words derived from Greek. Section 4 consists of a list of consonantal homographs which is aimed at helping the student clarify lexical ambiguities. E a c h of the four sections give full morphological analysis and English meanings. Sections 5 and 6 are devoted to the verb. The former divides the most frequent verbs into their morphological categories. T h e latter gives the paradigms of the most frequent verb in each category of the former section. Sections 7 and 8 are indices: The former provides an index to all the English words which appear in this work (a more detailed English-Syriac index is given in my Concordance to the Syriac New Testament, vol. 6, Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1993), and the latter provides an alphabetical index of the Syriac words. Section 9, Skeleton Syriac Grammar, is a reference grammar written by Dr Sebastian P. Brock. Finally, Section 10 provides an annotated bibliography of works which can be of use to the student. Only frequent words which occur ten times or more in the text of the Syriac New Testament (Peshitta version) are included in this work. The text used here is based on the Syriac New Testament edition of the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS), now reprinted by the United Bible Society. (The original Peshitta New Testament canon does not include 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, and Revelation; the text of these in the BFBS edition is taken from a sixth-century translation which some identify as the Philoxenian.) T h e lists in this work were generated from the Syriac Electronic Data Retrieval Archive ( S E D R A ) , a database management system for literary and linguistic computing in Syriac. I would like to take the opportunity to thank my Malphono D r Sebastian P. Brock (Oriental Institute, University of Oxford), who suggested compiling this work, for his numerous valuable discussions, and for the use of his computer system to print this document. His Eminence M o r Clemis Augen Kaplan, Metropolitan Patriarchal Assistant, kindly reviewed Section 6; D r Andrew Criddle (Cambridge) and Ms Amanda Bowen (Peterhouse, Cambridge) kindly checked the cross references in Section 8 and Section 7, respectively. To Dr Philip Davies of Sheffield Academic Press, I give my gratitude for accepting this work for publication. I have completed this book while doing research on Semitic computational morphology at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, under the direction of Dr Stephen G. Pulman (SRI International and Computer Laboratory), which was made possible by a Benefactor Studentship from St John's College.

Section 1: Word Frequency List Sequence. This list is arranged according to the frequency of occurrence of words.
Format. The list consists of four columns: •
Column 1: Reference No. Gives each word a reference number. This number is used as cross reference in other sections where the meanings of words are not given.
•
Column 2: Syriac Lexical Entry. Gives the Syriac form of the word in vocalized Serto (Western) script.
•
Column 3: Category. Gives the grammatical (i.e. morphological) category of the lexical entry.
•
Column 4: English Meanings. Gives the English meanings of the lexical entry. Main English key words are given in italic. Morphological information which changes the meaning is given in bold. Greek forms of Syriac words derived from Greek are given preceding the meanings. At the right side of this column, the frequency of the lexical entry is given in italic between square brackets, [ ].
The list is divided into frequency-range groups to help the student plan study sessions. For example, the first group lists words of frequency higher than 1000.
How to Use the Frequency List. It is important to review each group few times before going to the next one. It is quite difficult to establish associations between the Syriac words and their English meanings, since the Semitic language and the Indo-European one belong to two different families. In order to remember the meanings, therefore, it is crucial to understand the usage of the words. If the student has access to a copy of my Concordance to the Syriac New Testament (1993), the concordance can be consulted to learn the different forms of each word, and the usage of each form, as they appear in the New Testament.

Section 9: Skeleton Syriac Grammar
SKELETON SYRIAC GRAMMAR By Sebastian P. Brock Oriental
Institute,
University
of
Oxford
T h e following s k e l e t o n g r a m m a r is i n t e n d e d s o l e l y f o r r e f e r e n c e . It a b s t r a c t s t h e main f e a t u r e s of S y r i a c morphology in tabular form. T r a n s c r i p t i o n Notes. 1. V o w e l s accompanied by matres lectionis (i.e. Alaph, W a w , and Y o d h ) a r e m a r k e d with c i r c u m f l e x (i.e. the sign "); thus, e = e + alaph; = e + yodh; 0 = 0 + waw; 1 = i + yodh; a = a + alaph. 2. L e t t e r s b e t w e e n parenthesis are not pronounced, but appear in the written form. 3. T h e transcriptions throughout this section follow East S y r i a c pronunciation, which is older than W e s t S y r i a c pronunciation; thus, E. Syr. a = W. Syr. o; E. Syr. -hon, -Icon, and -ton = W. Syr. -hun, -kun, and -tun, respectively.
1. Nominal Endings. T h e following t a b l e provides nominal endings. Notice that the emph. s. m. ending is the same as the abs. s. f. ending. Num.

2. Verbal System. T h e most f r e q u e n t v e r b a l forms (also c a l l e d conjugations
in s o m e g r a m m a t i c a l l i t e r a t u r e ) a r e t h r e e
pairs (i.e. a total of six forms); each pair consists of two f o r m s , t h e first being a c t i v e and the s e c o n d passive. T h e f o l l o w i n g t a b l e gives the three active forms, f o l l o w e d by their passive counterparts. In the table, 1, 2 and 3 i n d i c a t e the first, second and third radicals, respectively. G e n e r a l meaning

3. Verbal Inflexional Markers. Each of the forms cited in section 2 above occurs in all of the following: perfect (denoting past tense), imperfect (denoting future), imperative, participles (active and passive; denoting present tense), and infinitive. In order to indicate the number, person and gender of a verb, Syriac uses verbal inflexional markers. These may take the form of prefixes, suffixes or both. The following table provides all the verbal inflexional markers. A slash, /, indicates an a l t e r n a t i v e form. Examples can be found in the verbal paradigms on p. 57 ff. Perfect Suff.

Section 10: Bibliography General Information. T h e following bibliography is selective: it is aimed at providing a list of works which can be of use to the student of New Testament Syriac. Works out of print are indicated by 'op'; these are included only in cases when no later work is a substitute for them. New Testament versions other than the Peshitta are also included for the convenience of the student. Early editions are excluded.
Addresses. Addresses of publishing houses holding works in print or reprinted works are also provided. Note that these addresses were p r o d u c e d at the time of publishing this book (1993).
