Topics in phonology, all aspects of morphology, and a variety of syntactic features are covered. The texts, presented with extensive commentary, were collected by the late T.M. Johnstone. Some are published here for the first time, while the rest have been newly edited and translated, based on the original manuscripts. Semitists, linguists, and anyone interested in the folklore of southern Arabia will find much valuable data and analysis in this volume, which is the most detailed grammatical study of a Modern South Arabian language yet published. 410 0$aStudies in Semitic Languages and Linguistics$v93. 606 $aMahri language$xGrammar 606 $aMahri language$vTexts 606 $aMahri language$zOman 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMahri language$xGrammar. 615 0$aMahri language 615 0$aMahri language 676 $a492.9 700 $aRubin$b Aaron D.$f1976-$0860240 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511316703321 996 $aOmani Mehri$92553286 997 $aUNINA
