Computer Aided Analysis of Amorite

by Ignace J. Gelb

`Computer aided' is somewhat daunting in books dating from 1980 but the underlying purpose of this book, to provide linguistically ordered lists of 6,662 proper names excerpted from Sumerian and Akkadian texts, remains useful since most of our knowledge of the non-Akkadian Semitic dialect comes from these names.
