This unique language is critically endangered, being spoken by a few hundred adherents of Mandaeism, the only gnostic religion to have survived until the present day. All other Mandaeans, numbering several tens of thousands, are Arabic or Persian speakers. The present study concerns the least known aspect of the language, namely its lexicon as reflected in both its dialects, those of the cities of Ahvaz and Khorramshahr in the Iranian province of Khuzestan. Apart from lexicological and etymological studies in Neo-Mandaic itself, the book discusses the contribution of the Neo-Mandaic lexis to our knowledge of literary Mandaic as well as aspects of this lexis within the framework of Neo-Aramaic as a whole. 410 0$aStudies in Semitic Languages and Linguistics$v73. 606 $aMandaean language$xGrammar 606 $aMandaean language$xLexicology 615 0$aMandaean language$xGrammar. 615 0$aMandaean language$xLexicology. 676 $a492/.3 700 $aMutzafi$b Hezy$01705013 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962784103321 996 $aComparative lexical studies in Neo-Mandaic$94091391 997 $aUNINA
