EXPLANATORY NOTES- DICTIONARIES

EXPLANATORY NOTES- DICTIONARIES

Dear Visitors of this Blog

Learning Foreign Languages and Etymology are my hobbies.
For many years I searched for the Etymology of Greek words and afterwards with the Etymology of the words of the foreign languages I was learning and I kept the notes and the knowledge for myself.
But when I started learning Arabic I discovered that there were not Arabic Etymological Dictionaries and so I decided to share with you any information I collected but only for the Arabic words having Greek origin.
For the preparation of the etymological entries of the Arabic words of my blog I rely upon the following dictionaries:

G. Mpampiniotis Dictionary of the new Greek language 2005
S. Nisayan Turkish Etymological Dictionary
Lindell-Scott Greek-English Lexikon 1996
Andras Rajiki's Arabic Eymological Dictionary
Wikipedia
Wictionary
Google Translate
Online Etymology Dictionary
Various Dictionaries of other languages

P.S. Please write to me your comments for any errors you see in my entries.
