This system, wliich has been adopted by mo.- t lexicographers since the time of Gesenius, is the most practical one. Words beginning both with b (Sin) and ty (Shin) are given here under one head, though Gesenius and many other lexicographers treat them as separate letters. In point of arrangement there are some deviations here from that of other lexicons. Some words which appear in tliem as two stem-words I. and II. are in this dictionary reduced to one, and some given there as one are here separated (compare, for instance, the arrangement here of the words tiis, np, na, yy with their disposition in the dictionaries of Gesenius and Steinberg). As in most dictionaries of Hebrew and Chaldee, verbs in this work are introduced in the form of the third person preterite (past tense), which is regarded as tlie stem-form. Some verbs, namely those with quiescent Vav (as h li, D1V, mb), are given in the infinitive, in w hich case the preterite, as well as the other tenses, is given in parentheses. To assist students in the study of Hebrew and Chaldee grammar, declinable words of these languages are given in this dictionary with V vi inflections. At the end of this dictionary is given an analytical index of all words and unusual inflections whose roots sonic students may have difficulty in finding. Neid York, December, 1913.
