About the the book

History and Origin of the Dictionary

The dictionary is titled "Mets'haf� S�wasəw W�-gəs W�-M�zəgəb� Qalat Ḥadis" (Book of Grammar and Verb Forms and New Dictionary), and it was published in the year 1948 E.C. (Ethiopian Calendar).

    • It was started by M�mhər Kiflə Giyorgis.
    • It was expanded and elaborated upon by Al�qa Kidan� W�ld Kifle.
    • It was revised and edited by Al�qa D�sta T�kl� W�ld.

Key Differences of the New Edition

This new edition differs from the original in three main ways:

    1. Alphabetical Order: The original edition was arranged in the አ፣ በ፣ ገ፣ ደ... "Abegede" (Ab�-gə-d�) order, whereas the new edition has been changed to the ሀ፣ ለ፣ ሐ፣ መ... "H�l�hame" (H�-l�-ḫa-m�) order.
    2. Language Translation: The original dictionary translated from Geez to Amharic. This new edition, however, has changed the translation from Geez to English, making it more accessible to English-speaking readers and researchers.
    3. Translation of Examples: The original book contained over 40,000 examples, quotes, poems, proverbs, etc., in Geez that were not translated in the Amharic edition. In this new English edition, these have been fully translated into English.

This dictionary serves two primary purposes:

    • For English Speakers: It is a great resource for English speakers who want to learn the Geez language.
    • For Geez Speakers: It helps Geez speakers improve their English skills by providing them with English translations for a language they already know.

This new edition is a valuable work that bridges the gap between these two languages and assists speakers of both.
