Ethiopic Grammar

by August Dillmann, James A. Crichton (Translator), Carl Bezold (Revised by)

Dillmann's Ethiopic Grammar -- along with his lexicon, chrestomathy, Ethiopic text of 1 Enoch, and Ethiopic edition of the Bible -- established the benchmark in Ethiopic studies. After an introduction to the language and its history, this volume covers orthography and phonology, morphology, and syntax. Included are nine tables the alphabet, verb formation, pronoun formation, verbal suffixes, and the gender-and number-formation of nouns.
