The Comprehensive Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic Glossary for Kindle: Navigation

This digital edition of The Comprehensive Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic Glossary, by Humphrey H. Hardy II, contains mutliple options for navigation. Please note also that navigation details might be different in the various Kindle applications for other platforms.

First, there is a fully interactive Table of Contents accessible, as is customary for Kindle books, via Go to -> table of contents in the menu. Links for Hebrew words beginning with each letter of the alphabet precede links for Aramaic words beginning with each letter of the alphabet. Clicking on a link provides you with another hyperlinked list of two-letter combinations beginning the word. The words are arranged in alphabetical order by lexical form, not by root.

Second, when you are reading, clicking the 5-way controller to the right will advance you to the hyperlinked list for the next letter of the alphabet. If you are already on a page with a hyperlinked list for a particular letter, you will advance to the beginning of the entries for that letter. Clicking the 5-way controller to the left does similarly.

Third, you can navigate directly to a particular glossary entry by clicking on Index in the menu and typing in an abbreviated form of the lexeme (word) in transliteration, leaving off all vowels, cantillation marks, and root disambiguators (I, II, etc.). Use the transliteration scheme found in the table below. For example, to find ben, “son” in Hebrew, type “bn”. For Aramaic words, use the prefix “a ” (i.e. the letter a followed by a space) before the lexeme in transliteration. For example, to find bar, “son” in Aramaic, type “a br”.
