CAL Lexicon Browser

Here you may browse the lexicon. Enter the first two or three consonants of the entry you are concentrating on, and then you will be able to select from all corresponding entries. You may use CAL code, Unicode transliteration, Unicode Hebrew, or [if your browser supports it!*] Unicode Syriac (see table below).

Typically you may search by full form or by root (base form). If you do search by base form, then select it and all derived forms will be displayed.

*Even if you only see boxes instead of Syriac letters, you may type using your Unicode Syriac keyboard and still search properly.

**For the "@" sign in combinations (such as "br@mwt)" = "br mwtˀ") use the space bar.

For bound forms, such as w = "and" or b = "in", use an underscore as the second letter, thus "w_".
