That would be a great book Tom Send a noteboard - 02/06/2010 12:40:38 AM
It would rank up there alongside "Sumerian Theory in Akkadian Grammar for Dummies".
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Nice review! *NM* everynametaken - 31/05/2010 08:35:42 PM 332 Views
Thanks! I realize most people aren't going to rush out and read this, but the book was interesting. *NM* Tom - 31/05/2010 10:01:28 PM 295 Views

Sounds interesting. Legolas - 31/05/2010 09:11:31 PM 595 Views
Syriac is just a specific Aramaic dialect. You know one if you know the other, essentially. Tom - 31/05/2010 10:01:00 PM 687 Views
Right. Legolas - 31/05/2010 10:58:16 PM 703 Views
Modern Arabic dialects should be considered separate languages. Tom - 31/05/2010 11:53:37 PM 652 Views
Fair enough. Legolas - 02/06/2010 12:50:32 AM 683 Views
It's hardly revolutionary from a scholarly perspective. Tom - 02/06/2010 05:06:13 AM 590 Views
Your question about forgetting (before I forget) Tom - 01/06/2010 12:12:08 AM 565 Views
I see. Interesting. Legolas - 02/06/2010 12:52:09 AM 588 Views
"nasiy" is just one of the possible definitions that Manna gave, not the "proper reading". Tom - 02/06/2010 05:07:41 AM 574 Views
Ooh, interesting. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 10:51:42 PM 602 Views
I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I doubt you'll enjoy the book. Tom - 01/06/2010 10:56:12 PM 591 Views
Damn. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 11:01:30 PM 564 Views
There will probably be a more "general reader"-friendly book on it in the future. Tom - 01/06/2010 11:27:15 PM 626 Views
Excellent. I shall (forget to) keep an eye out for it. *NM* Rebekah - 01/06/2010 11:30:58 PM 280 Views

I'm sure he was referring to Sumerian theory in Akkadian grammar. Burr - 02/06/2010 01:50:30 AM 835 Views

I think there's even a "Children of Tiamat and the Parents Who Flay Them" section. Tom - 02/06/2010 05:11:02 AM 588 Views
