I'm sure he was referring to Sumerian theory in Akkadian grammar. Burr Send a noteboard - 02/06/2010 01:50:30 AM
You can't get through a single shelf at Borders without seeing some book or another on Sumerian theory in Akkadian grammar with a tattooed girl standing in front of the moon on the cover. You know, the ones where invariably the protagonist struggles to lead a double life as a linguist and a child of Tiamat.

Nice review! *NM* everynametaken - 31/05/2010 08:35:42 PM 324 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 290 Views

Sounds interesting. Legolas - 31/05/2010 09:11:31 PM 582 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 676 Views
Right. Legolas - 31/05/2010 10:58:16 PM 685 Views
Modern Arabic dialects should be considered separate languages. Tom - 31/05/2010 11:53:37 PM 641 Views
Fair enough. Legolas - 02/06/2010 12:50:32 AM 675 Views
It's hardly revolutionary from a scholarly perspective. Tom - 02/06/2010 05:06:13 AM 580 Views
Your question about forgetting (before I forget) Tom - 01/06/2010 12:12:08 AM 555 Views
I see. Interesting. Legolas - 02/06/2010 12:52:09 AM 577 Views
"nasiy" is just one of the possible definitions that Manna gave, not the "proper reading". Tom - 02/06/2010 05:07:41 AM 563 Views
Ooh, interesting. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 10:51:42 PM 594 Views
I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I doubt you'll enjoy the book. Tom - 01/06/2010 10:56:12 PM 577 Views
Damn. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 11:01:30 PM 554 Views
There will probably be a more "general reader"-friendly book on it in the future. Tom - 01/06/2010 11:27:15 PM 609 Views
Excellent. I shall (forget to) keep an eye out for it. *NM* Rebekah - 01/06/2010 11:30:58 PM 274 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 571 Views
