Excerpt from Assyrian Grammar With Chrestomathy and Glossary In this first lesson, about a hundred of the simplest syllabic signs are arranged according to the order of the Hebrew alphabet. This is the order in which the trans literated words occur in all Assyrian glossaries and diction aries. On the left-hand side syllables beginning with a con sonant are arranged, those with a final a being placed in the first column, those with z' or e in the second and those with u in the third. On the right-hand side syllables be ginning with a vowel are recorded, first those with a, se condly those with z' or e and thirdly those with u It is very important that all these signs with their values be thoroughly committed to memory. In section 4 these same syllabic signs are arranged in the order in which all these and other signs are found in all sign lists. This exercise should be carefully studied. The signs should be read and repeatedly written until they are as well known as an alphabet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
