The Khwarezmian Glossary—II
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
As a preliminary, merely, to the long task of compiling a dictionary of ‘Islamic’ Khwarezmian, it is my purpose here to scotch as many as possible of the ghost-words and misunderstandings which mar the otherwise useful publication Das chwaresmischeSprachmaterial einer Handschrift der ‘Muqaddimat al-adab’ von Zamaxšarī, by J. Benzing. A beginning has been made, dealing with more than 150 such errors in the first 70 pp. of the chapter ‘Verbs’ (Benzing, 60–129 = his ‘Zm’, better Muq., 73–199). I continue here in the same vein, i.e. by dealing only with debatable entries in the ensuing pages (130–218 = Muq., 199–344).
