PREFACE. 


This  Vocabulary  was  originally  compiled  for  my  private  use  in  order 
to  retain  a  grasp  on  what,  after  ten  years'  practical  experience,  I  con- 
sidered to  be  the  most  necessary  words  of  the  Arabic  language.  It 
is  now  published,  after  two  years^  careful  revision. 

The  following  plan  has  been  adopted  in  its  compilation  : — 

1st.  Taking  Frey tag's  "  Arabic-Latin  Lexicon  "  as  a  guide,  I  went 
through  the  volume,  selected  what  I  wanted,  and  drew  up  a  skeleton 
list  of  the  most  important  verbal  roots  and  their  derivatives. 

2nd.  I  then  read  carefully  through  the  Arabic  text  of  the  Egyptian 
codes  of  law,  line  by  line,  adding  words  with  their  modern  meanings 
to  the  skeleton  list.  This  task  supplied  me  with  hundreds  of  terms 
relating  not  merely  to  law,  but  also  to  public  and  social  life, 
government,  commerce,  crime,  &c.  ;  moreover,  it  showed  how  the  best 
Egyptian  authorities  translate  good  French  into  good  modern  Arabic. 
The  phraseology  of  a  code  forms  a  high  standard  of  the  common 
language  of  educated  natives ;  it  is  unpedantic,  simple,  accurate  and 
concise. 

3rd.  I  collected  numerous  words  by  a  systematic  course  of  reading 
of  oflBcial  MSS.,  decrees,  circulai's,  annual  budgets,  reports  and 
journals.  I  also  added  some  colloquialisms,  and  a  few  military  and 
scientific  terms. 

The  entire  draft  was  then  revised  with  the  aid  of  native  clerks.  I 
would  read  out  an  Arabic  word,  and  ask  them  to  explain  it ;  I  would 
then  translate  my  own  explanation,  and  thus  verify  or  correct  it. 
The  MS.  was  then  submitted  to  the  scrutiny  of  my  native  colleagues 
of  the  Court  of  Appeal,  and  it  is  to  their  never-failing  kindness  and 
assistance  that  I  am  most  deeply  indebted  for  all  that  is  of  value  in 
this  book.  While,  therefore,  I  alone  am  responsible  for  any  defects 
or  shortcomings,  the  student  may  feel  confident  that  this  is  a  serious 


Yl  PREFACE. 

professional  attempt  to  furnish  him  with  a  concise  ahridgment,  a 
coherent  synopsis,  of  the  vocabulary  which  is  daily  used  by  native 
officials  of  the  Egyptian  Government. 

I  would  advise  him  to  master  this  book  almost  in  its  entirety ; 
to  read  carefully'  two  or  more  pages  up  to  ten  or  twenty  a  day, 
according  to  the  time  at  his  disposal ;  to  select  and  note  down  in 
a  blank  book  two  or  three  words  from  every  page;  and  to  try  to  he 
accurate  in  his  Arabic  spelling.  If  he  will  take  the  trouble  to  go 
through  this  Vocabulary  in  the  manner  suggested,  I  am  confident 
that  in  the  course  of  a  few  months  he  will  have  gained  a  sound 
knowledge  of  modern  Egyptian  Arabic.  His  notes  will  have  formed 
a  short  vocabulary  of  his  own  selection,  and  in  addition  to  what  he 
may  remember,  he  will  be  better  able  to  guess  the  root  of  a 
derived  form,  and  to  find  it  in  this  or  any  larger  dictionary. 

The  cross-references  should  also  be  examined  for  synonyms,  or  for 
contrasts  in  meaning  or  in  spelling.      For   example,  i_J(!j  talifa, 

it  perished,^^  [see  i-LAlij>].  Reference  to  cLJIa  halaJca,  gives 
us  one  or  two  more  useful  words  for  "  ruin/'  "  danger ;"  and 
halaha  and  talifa  should  be  connoted  in  the  student's  memory. 
Again,  jA^  tarnr,  means  '  a  dry  date,^^  but  j*^  tamar,  means 
"  fruit.'^ 

As  a  specimen  lesson  in  the  use  of  this  book,  let  the  student  take 
the  three  roots  i— i^c  'arafa  "he  knew,"  As.  'alima,  "he  knew," 
and  ^^Ai-  Ixhahar  "news."  They  unite  in  the  main  idea  of 
"  knowledge,"  but  each  differs  from  the  others  in  its  derived  forms. 
This  connotation  of  allied  roots,  by  contrast  and  comparison,  is  the 
best  way  to  attain  accuracy  in  Arabic.  If  he  will  then  look  for 
'arafa  and  'alima  in  a  large  dictionary  such  as  Kazimirski  or 
Steingass,  he  will  see  how  this  vocabulary  has  been  abridged  for 
practical  purposes. 

One  great  obstacle  to  our  progress  in  good  colloquial  Arabic  is 
undoubtedly  our  helplessness  in  the  hands  of  Berberine  servants. 

These  Berberines  are  foreigners,  whose  native  Nubian  dialect  {rotn, 
or  non-Arab)  is  very  limited  and  barbarous.  Yet  for  our  daily 
purposes  we  are  obliged,  not  only  to  learn  their  pronunciation,  but 
also  their  grossly  inaccurate  patois,  which  some  of  us  innocently 
suppose   is  good  modern  Arabic.     The  Berberine  despises  every  word 


PREFACE.  VU 

which  he  does  not  know  as  ''  ndhwiy,"  or  pedantic  ;  and  if  we  submit 
to  his  dictum  we  shall  never  make  mneh  progress  beyond  the  familiar 
hata'a  and  shoof. 

Those  among  us  who  speak  the  best  Arabic  are  invariably  men  who 
have  had  to  deal  with  fellaheen  (soldiers,  policemen^  or  peasants),  and 
with  junior  native  officials.  Not  only  is  the  pronunciation  of  these 
Englishmen  good,  but  they  can  speak  Arabic  intelligibly^  and  in 
connected  sentences,  upon  matters  which  require  a  little  thought  to 
explain  or  to  understand,  even  in  English. 

In  conclusion,  this  book  contains  the  result  of  twelve  years'  study 
and  experience  of  Arabic  in  Syria,  Egypt,  the  Soudan,  and  Tripoli ; 
and  I  sincerely  hope  that  it  may  not  only  encourage  English  resi- 
dents and  officials  in  the  study  of  that  language,  but  also  prove 
useful  to  the  numerous  Egyptians  who  are  learning  English.

INTRODUCTION. 

I.    Long,    (l)    1     a,  as  in  father-,    c.  g.,  v-Jo  hah,  door.      T  ad, 
double  a,  as   in  haa  ;    e.g.,  JT  aal,  dynasty. 

(2)  J  0,  which  in  Arahic  words  is  pronounced 
usually  as  v  in  pole,  although  the  ow  of 
fowl  is  more  correct  ;  e.  g.,  Jy  qol  or  qowl, 
speech ;  but  in  foreign  words  invariably  as 
o  in  pole. 

(3)  J  00,  as  in  fool  ;    e.  g.,  J  J  fool,  beans. 

(4)  ^  or  ^_^  ee  or  iy,  as  in  feel ;  e.  g.,  (Jji  /<?e?, 
elephant;  ^^/^^    masriy,   or    masree,   Egyptian. 

iLi  iya,  or  eeya  (feminine  termination  of  adjec- 
tives  derived  from  nouns),  e.  g.,  ^i,^^^  masriy a^ 
masreeya,  Egyptian. 

(5)  ^  at,  indifferently  pronounced  as  ai  in  pain, 
or  as  i  in  pine  ;  e.  g.,  ^j^s.  'ain,  or  'inc,  eye  ; 
but  usually  as  ai  in  p«m ;  e.  g.,  ^jXi  hain, 
between,  ^^jJoj\  ctnain,  two. 

II.    Short.    (1)  Fat-ha,  h:£<s  — _,  a  or  u,  as  in  cap  or  c^lp  ;  e.g., 
yj*'j^  jciras,  or  jiirus,  bell. 

(2)  Damma,  llj>,  — ,  o  or  u,  as  in  pull,  booli ; 
^-  9-)   ej^l  oclon,  or  udun,  ear. 

(3)  Kasra,  'iju*S,  —,  i,  as  in  pin;   e.g.,  t— 9^  sorifa, 

it  was  spent.  This  Jcasra,  or  short  i,  is  very 
common  in  the  spoken  dialect,  and  often  usurps 
the  place  of  a ;  e.g.,  ^ij  haJca,  is  usually  pro- 
nounced hihi,  he  wept  :  ^_^!i^  ma.^ha  becomes 
'iidshi,  he  walked  ;  <^'x^  hataba  becomes  kitih, 
he  wrote i 


INTRODDCTION.  XI 

There  are  five  letters — --,  s,  c,  ^J  and  \Jj — wliich  must  bo 
contrasted  together. 

1.  -.  Jeem,  j,  g  as  in  gin,  but  colloquially  as  g  in  go. 

2.  c  'Ain,  a  hiatus^  or  peculiar  guttural. 

3.  c  Ghain,  gh,  a  guttural  usually  transliterated  by  the  French 
r  grasseye. 

4.  ^J  Qdf,  a  guttural  /^  or  g  ;  or  hiatus  ;  or,  very  vulgarly, 
as  g  in  (/o. 

5.  lL)  l-ef,    h. 

a.  Compare  ^s^  ^^CLjj)  pilgrimage,  with  JLiLiJU-  haqeeqa,  truth, 
and  jP^-fl-i  'aqeeq,  cornelian.  js^  is  colloquially  pro- 
nounced liogg.  LsLysL-s^  haqeeqa,  may  become  ha-ee-a, 
and  also,  very  vulgarly,  hagheega.  j^^ac  'aqeeq,  may 
become  'a-ee,  and  very  vulgarly,  'agheeg. 

6.  So  also  fjls>~  halldq,  barber,  may  be  confused  with  ^21=*- 
halldj,  carder  of  cotton.  And  ^J^j  Zaqdzeeq  is  Zaga- 
zig,  or  Za-d-zee. 

c.  Again:  c|^  fardgh,  emptiness;  ^j\J  firdq,  separation; 
(^Jji  faralia,  he  rubbed,  require  to  be  distinguished. 

The  student  is  therefore  advised  to  retain  the  simple 
transliteration  adopted  in  this  book,  and  to  consider : 
•jr  Jeem  as  j,  or  g  in  gin  ;  a  'Ain  as  a  hiatus,  apostrophe 
'a,  'e,  'i,  'o  or  'u ;  c  Ghain  as  gh  ;  Jf  Qdf  a.s  q  ;  CJ  Kef 
as  h. 

I  have  carefully  avoided  any  elaborate  system  of  translitera- 
tion with  dots  or  strokes  under  certain  letters.  Experience  has 
shown  me  that  everyone  likes  his  own  ideas  on  this  subject,  and 
spells  words  {e.g.,  hwhash,  dahahia,  Ismailia,  haicab,  &c.)  accord- 
ing to  his  fancy.

The  Moslem  year  consists  of  12  lunar  months,  or  354  days. 
It  is  thus  shorter  by  about  1 1  days  than  the  Gregorian  year  ; 
or  34  Moslem  years  are  about  equal  to  33  ordinary  years,  or 
100  Moslem  years  to  only  97  ordinary  years.  The  Moslems 
reckon  from  a.d.  622,  the  date  of  the  Flight  {Hijra,  s^s*)  of 
Mahomed  from  Mecca  to  Medina,  and  therefore  1892  a.d.  is 
1309-10  A.H.  (Anno  Hijrge).

The  Coptic  Calendar  is  used  by  Moslems  and  Copts  for

be  taken  from  ancient   Eg-yptian  mythology  :  — 


1.  Toot

3.  Hatoor  .
