The Egyptian Root Lexicon presents the envisaged roots of the Egyptian
words, hypothetically established on the basis of attested lexemes on
obvious phonetic and semantic resemblance. As the etymological research
in the field of Afro-Asiatic is not sufficiently advanced, the lexical
roots are not set up on an etymological basis. The main part of the book
contains the roots (numerically marked with DRID identifier) in
alphabetic arrangement, with their subsequent lexemes marked with an
identity number, the ID, as created by the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae
(TLA), of the Berlin Academy of Sciences. The roots section is followed
by extensive indexes, including a lexeme index and an index of roots of
Semitic origin. A selected bibliography concludes the work.
