Abstract

The Ḥarsūsi language is so important to Semitists and so close to extinction, and our knowledge of it so meager and so imperfect, that a new lexicon of that language cannot fail to be an important contribution to the field of Semitics. Every one of us in this field owes the author a debt of gratitude for undertaking this task. (from Introduction)
