With the Analytic Meroitic Dictionary in six volumes, the first
comprehensive catalogue of the words and lexemes of the most ancient
recorded language of Black Africa will be presented. It is based on the
analysis of 2,370 published and unpublished inscriptions with altogether
23,900 words, which can be assigned to 9,300 lexemes. For the lexemes,
proposed translations and cognates in ancient contemporary languages are
given, if possible. Within the lexemes, the words are classified
according to their use and the examples are listed in their context. For
the Analytic Meroitic Dictionary, all published texts were carefully
examined. The underlying transliterations, on which the dictionary is
based, are presented in a separate document volume.
