The Arabic dictionary most used by sclmhirs who are familiar with no (.tin r language is In 20 quarto vol? umes and weighs close to 1(K> pounds. There Is a BO-pound ten-volume abridg? ment tot it, presumably for use at home. This and virtually all the Ara? bic dictionaries were made In the time of the 1 larun-al-Rashld. The Islamic empire Is credited by Moslems with two great eras. The first was that of conquest, when the only history was written with the sword. Then came centuries of Mo haniinedan domination, when the Mos? lems peacefully held the empires they had conquered in Asia and In the Ibe? rian peninsula. During these art and literature flourished and the Arabic dictionary wus born. In Arabia the flower of this period was In the golden time of Caliph llnrun-al-Rnshld. Each of the words that have been familiar in the daily life of the no? mad Arabs for centuries lias au enor? mous number of synonyms. The lion, for example, was feared by villagers and hunted not only for sport but as a mutter of necessity. Therefore in the Arabic dictionary the lion lots more than a hundred different names. The camel was the sole means of transportation across the thirsty des? erts and is characterized in 122 dif? ferent ways. ? Hut above all, the horse and the sword were the two great stand-bys of the Arab. There are more than 'J(K) words that convey Ideas of "horse" and "sword." All other futuiliar words, such as tent, flock, herds, wa? ter, woman, sun and air, have long lists of synonyms that sre interchange? able and in constant use. This affords some slight explanation why Arabic dictionaries are of so large size. Arabic, so the Arabs say, was the language of the Babylonisns, and it Is also contended by them that it was the tongue which Abraham sis>ke.
