Abstract

Neo-Mandaic (NM) is the least known Neo-Aramaic language, despite recent progress in investigations of its grammar and lexicon. Lexicographical coverage of NM is still particularly replete with lacunae, as many of the language’s lexical items and lexical peculiarities remain beyond common scholarly knowledge. The present contribution discusses several hitherto unknown or misrepresented NM lexemes. Ten of these are inherited from pre-modern Mandaic antecedents that are, as far as can be established, not manifest in classical and post-classical Mandaic textual sources. Most of these inherited lexical items are of Aramaic origin, whereas a few are of ultimate Iranian provenance.

新曼达语是迄今为止未经证实的曼达语词汇的来源

新曼达语(NM)是最不为人所知的新阿拉姆语，尽管最近在其语法和词汇的调查进展。NM的词典编纂范围仍然特别充满了空白，因为该语言的许多词汇项目和词汇特性仍然超出了普通的学术知识。目前的贡献讨论了几个迄今为止未知或误传的NM词汇。其中有十个是从前现代曼陀罗语中继承下来的，就目前所能确定的而言，在古典和后古典曼陀罗语文本来源中没有体现出来。大多数这些继承的词汇项目是阿拉姆语的起源，而少数是最终伊朗的起源。

期刊介绍： The journal brings all aspects of the various forms of Aramaic and their literatures together to help shape the field of Aramaic Studies. The journal, which has been the main platform for Targum and Peshitta Studies for some time, is now also the main outlet for the study of all Aramaic dialects, including the language and literatures of Old Aramaic, Achaemenid Aramaic, Palmyrene, Nabataean, Qumran Aramaic, Mandaic, Syriac, Rabbinic Aramaic, and Neo-Aramaic. Aramaic Studies seeks contributions of a linguistic, literary, exegetical or theological nature for any of the dialects and periods involved, from detailed grammatical work to narrative analysis, from short notes to fundamental research. Reviews, seminars, conference proceedings, and bibliographical surveys are also featured.
