Title: Nhura - A Dictionary of Mandaic

Description: A dictionary of the classical Mandaic language named Nhura which means "light" in Mandaic and is a very popular word in Mandaean literature. The words were collected from Mandaean books, which are a large material and include a lot of vocabularies. The dictionary is divided into two parts, the right one is Mandaic-English and the left one is English-Mandaic. All words in both parts are arranged alphabetically; English ABC or Mandaic ABGD. Each page is divided into two parts, and each part has 3 columns: vocabulary in Mandaic or English, transliteration of Mandaic and the equivalent word.The dictionary contains 40 coloured pictures for the popular Mandaic terms. Each section starts with a quote of the Mandaean hymn of letters from the canonical prayer book. There is a text from the Mandaean Holy Book Ginza Rabba in Mandaic along with the pronunciation and the translation into English. This dictionary contains old and modern vocabularies; therefore it is very helpful for everyone who wants to learn Mandaic. More details are explained in the introduction of the dictionary. It was published in 2012 by Darabsha in Germany.
