An Akkadian Lexicon Companion to Biblical Hebrew

[yaaqubyl]

Shlama,

This is supposed to be in stock by January 15th and I don't know if any other store has it as I haven't searched for it. From the Ktav.com site description:

"An Akkadian Lexicon Companion to Biblical Hebrew
Etymological, Semantic and Idiomatic Equivalence with supplement on Biblical Aramaic

The Companion does not confine its interest solely to etymological equivalents with Akkadian but also embraces semantic and idiomatic relationships. It helps uncover meanings for Hebrew words that have eluded clear definition in particular contexts, but which have either Akkadian cognates or vocable euivalents employed in a similar context. It proposes nuances for Hebrew words suggested by similar Akkadian usages. It illuminates idioms from related expressions in Akkadian. It corrects certain understandings of Hebrew words and expressions in light of their Akkadian equivalents. It shows that the large resource of Akkadian literature, though geographically and temporally somewhat remote and linguistically somewhat different from Hebrew, can, offer a large number of insights for the task of understanding and interpreting Biblical Hebrew."
