This display reflects an early draft manuscript of Sokoloff's A Dictionary of Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, first edition. For additions and corrections in the second printed edition, please view our online text here. A third edition (2017) is now available, but it lacks the very valuable indexes of the earlier ones. They are available online, however (see the "CONTENTS" page of that edition).
