Derivatives which are formed by the introduction of so-called servile or additional letters,

and the various measures of the broken Plural,

are to be looked for in

their natural alphabetical order, where their

meanings or reference to the singular readily traced

is given, unless they can be back to their respective origin by eliminating such

additional letters according to a few simple rules of easy application.

we give, besides ^add and Hdd, belonging to the root (J*c), also the word ^udd, " pustule," apparently itself a root, and under the feminine form 6.vc we include 'ida-t, " promise, threat," derived from the root (>"^^). But this very juxtaposition of disparate meanings will instance,

strike the attention of a thoughtful student, and continually remind him, that in Arabic, more than in any other language, very similar forms may have a vastly distinct origin.

PREFACE. The Author's

aim, in preparing the present volume, has been to provide

the English student, at a moderate price, with a Dictionary which would

enable him to read, not only Arabic books of a limited vocabulary, as the Qur'dn, or of a comparatively easy and familiar style, as the Arabian

Nights; but also such other standard works of a wider etymological range, as the al-Hariri,

Hamdsah, the Mu'allaqnt, and, above

which may, with the
