Preface

Shortly after the publication of Professor Hans Wehr's


Arabisches Wrterbuch fr die Schriftsprache der Gegenwart
in 1952, the Committee on Language Programs of the Ameri-
can Council of Learned Societies recognized its excellence
and began to explore means of providing an up-to-date Eng-
lish edition. Professor Wehr and I readily reached agreement

on a plan to translate, edit, and enlarge the dictionary. This


task was considerably lightened and hastened by generous
financial support from the American Council of Learned So-
cieties, the Arabian American Oil Company, and Cornell
University.
This dictionary will be welcome not only to English and
American users, but to orientalists throughout the world who

are more at home with English than with German. It is more


accurate and much more comprehensive than the original
version, which was produced under extremely unfavorable
conditions in Germany during the late war years and the early
postwar period.

Preface to The Pocket-Book Edition


In Order to meet the enormous increase of interest in Arabic
brought about by political, economic and social develop-
ments of the past decade, we have now published our 3rd
Revised Edition of A Dictionary of Modern W ritten Arabic in
this handy, comprehensive and unabridged version.

Introduction

Thi diotionary presents the vocabulary and phraseology of modern mitten Arabic. It is
based an the form of the language wbich, throughout the Arab world from Iraq to Moroooo, is
found in the proee of books, newapapers, periodicals, and letters. This form is also empioyed in
formal public address, over radio and television, and in religious ceremonial, The diotionary will
be most usefuJ to those working with writinga that have appeared aince the turn of the Century.
The morphology and syntax of written Arabio are esaentially the same in all Arab ooun-
triea. Vocabulary differences are limited mainly to the domain of apecialized vocabulary. Thua
the written language contmnea, as it haa done throughout centuriea of the paat, to ensure the
linguistio unity of the Arab world. It provides a medium of oommunicatkm over the vaat
geographica! area whoee numeroua and widely diverser local dialecta it tranaoends. Indeed,

it gives the Arab people of many countriea a Bense of identity and an awarenesa of their common
culturaJ heritage.
Two powerful and conflioiing forces have affected the development of the modern Arabio
lexicon. A reform movement originating toward the end of the last Century in Syria and
Lebanon haa reawakened and popularized the old conviotion of educated Arabs that the
ancient 'arabiya of pre-Islamio times, which became the classical form of the language kl the
early centuries of Islam, is better and more correct than any later form. Proponenta of this
puristic doctrine have held that new vocabulary muat be derived exoluaively in accordance
with ancient modela or by aemant extension of older forma. They have insiBted on the
replacement of all foreign loanwords with purely Arabio forma and expressiona. The puriata
have had conaiderable influence on the development of modern literary Arabio although
there haa been widespread protest againat their extreme point of view. At the same time
and under the inoreaaing influence of Western civization, Arab writers and jouroalists
have had to deal with a host of new concepts and ideas previously alien to the Arab way
of life. Aa aetual usage demonstrates, the puriats have been unable to eope with the aheer
bulk of new linguiatic material whioh has had to be inoorporated into the language to
make it ourrent with advances in world knowledge. The result is Been in the tendency
of many writers, especially in the fields of Bcience and teohnology, simply to adopt foreign
words from the European languagea. Many common, everyday expressions from the various
colloquial dialects have also found their way into written expression.
From its inception, thia diotionary haa been oompiled on acientifio descriptive principlea.

It oontains only worda and expressiona which were found in context during the course of
wide reading in literature of every kind or which, on the basis of other evidence, can be shown
to be unqueationably a part of the present-day vocabulary. It ia a faithful record of the
language ae attested by usage rather than a normative presentation of what theoretically
ought to occur. Consequently, it not only liste claasical words and phrasea of elegant rhe-
torical style aide by side with new coinages that confonn to the demands of the puriata, but
it also oontains neologiama, loan tranalations, foreign loans, and colloquialiama which may not
be to the linguistio taste of many educated Arabs. But since they occur in the corpus of ma-
terials on which the diotionary ia based, they are inoluded here.
Introduction VIII

A number of special problems oonfront the


loxicographer dealing with preaent-day Arabio.
Since for many knowledge, especially those which have developed outside the Arab
fields of

world, no generally accepted terminology has yet emerged, it is evident that a practical
dictionary can only approximate the degree of completeneas found in comparable dictionaries
of Western languages. Local terminology, especially for many public institutions, offices,
titles, and administrative has developed in the several Arab countries. Although the
affairs,

diotionary is based mainly on usage in the countries bordering on the eastern Mediterranean,
and administrative terms have been included for all Arab countries, but not with
looal official

equal thoroughness. Colloquialisms and dialect expreasions that have gained ourrenoy in
written fonn also vary from country to country. Certainly no attempt at completeneas can
be made here, and the user working with materials having a maxked regional flavor will be well
advised to refer to an appropriate dialeot diotionary or glossary. As a rule, items derived from
local dialecte or limited to looal use have been so designated with appropriate abbreviations.
A
normalized journalistio style has evolved for faotual reporting of news or discussion of
mattere of political and topical interest over the radio and in the press. Thia style, which
often betrays Western influences, is remarkably uniform throughout the Arab world. It
reaches large sections of the population daily and constitutes to them almost the only stylistio
norm. Its vocabulary is relatively small and fairly Btandardized, hence easily covered in a
dictionary.
The vocabulary of scientific and teohnological writingB, on the other hand, is by no means
standardized. The impact of Western oivilization has confronted the Arab world with the
serious linguistio problem of expressing a vast and ever-inoreasing number of new concepts
for which no words in Arabic exist. The creation of a soientifio and technological terminology
is still a major intellectual ohallenge. Reluctance to borrow wholesale from European languages
has spurred efforts to coin terms according to productive Arabic patterns. In recent decades
innumerable such words have been suggested in various periodioals and in special publications.
Relatively few of these have gained acceptance in common usage. Specialists in all fields

keep coining new terms that are either not understood by other specialists in the same field

or are rejeoted in favor of other, equally short-lived, private fabrications.


The Academy of the Arabio Language in Gairo especially, the Damascus Aoademy, and,
Academy have produoed and continue to publish vast numbers
to a lesser eztent, the Iraqi
of technical terms for almost all fields of knowledge. The aoademies have, however, greatly
underestimated the difficulties of artificial regulation of a language. The problem lies not so
much in inventing terms as it does in assuring that they gain acceptance. In some instances
neologisms have quickly become part of the stook of the language; among these, fortunately,
are a large number of the terms proposed by academies or by professional specialists. However,
in many fields, suoh as modern Unguis tics, existential philosophy, or nuclear physics, it is
still not possible for professional people from the different Arab states to discuas details of
The Bituation is further complioated by the fact that the purists
their disoipline in Arabio.

and the aoademies demand the translation into Arabio even of those Oreek and Latin tech-
nical terms which make possible international understanding among specialists. Thus while
considerable progress has been made in recent decades toward the standardization of Arabic
terminology, several technical terms which all fit one definition may still be current, or a
given scientific term may have dferent meanings for different experts.
Those teohnical terms which appear with considerable frequency in published works, or
which are familir to specialists in various fields and are considered by them to be stand-

ardized terminology, presented no partioular problem. Nevertheless it has not always been
possible to aBoertain the terms in general acceptance with the experta of merely one

suoh as thi has no poom for the mumerable academio coinages which experi-
tive diotionary
in the

Classioisms are a further special problem. Arab authors, Bteeped in classioal tradition,

Arohaisms may orop up in

the middle of a spirited newspaper article. Wherever an aesthetio or rhetorioal
ed, wherever the language aims more at expressiveness than at
imparting information,

authors tend to weave in ancient Arabio and olassioal idioms. They are artistio and
stylistio

passages of
devioes of the first Order. They awaken in the reader images from memorized
anoient literature and contribute to his aesthetio enjoyment. Quotations from the
Koran or
from classioal literature, whose origins and connotations may well elude the Western reader, are
readily recognized by Arabs who have had a traditional eduoation and who have memorized a
wealth of anoient souroes. In former years many by
writers strove to display their erudition

oiting lexical rarities culled from ancient diotionaries and oollections of Synonyms. As often as

not the author had to explain such nawdir in footnotes, sinoe nobody eise would understand
them. This pedantic mannerism is going out of fashion and there is a trend in more
recent

literature toward smoothness and readability in style. Nevertheless it is olear from the

foregoing that it is not possible to make a Sharp distinction between living and obsolete usage.

All archaic words found in the source material have, therefore, been inoluded in this diotionary,
even though sometimes evident that they no longer form a part of the living lexioon and
it is

aro used only by a small group of well-read literary oonnoisseurs. Suoh included
forms are

but a small sample of what the user is likely to encounter in the writings of a few
modern
authors; the impossibility of inoluding the entire anoient vocabulary is obvious. The user
who
encountere an old Arabio word whioh he does not understand will have to oonsult a lexioon
older
of the 'arablya. Finally, some modern authors will ocoasionally take great liberties with
words, so that even highly eduoated Arabs are unable to understand the sense of certain pas-
sages. Items of this kind have not been entered. They would contribute nothing to a dio-
tionary whose scope did not permit inclusion of source references.
The vocabulary of modern Arabic, then, is by no means standardized, its soope in times

diffioult to delimit.These results emerge from the very character of modern Arabio a
written language, powerfully influenced by traditional norms, which nevertheless is required
to express a multitude of new foreign concepts, not for one oountry only, but for many
distrib-

uted over a vaat geographical area. Arabic phonology, morphology, and syntax have re-
mained relatively unohanged from earliest times, as has muoh of the vooabulary. Here tradi
tional adherence to anoient linguistio norms and to the modeis of olassioal literature, especially

the Koran, has had the effect of preserving the language intaot over the centuries. But
as vocabulary and phraseology mUBt adapt to the new and ever-changing requirements

of externa] ciroumstanoes, these are more prone to ohange. Striotly speaking, every

epoch of Arab history has had its own peculiar vocabulary, whioh should be set forth

in a separate diotionary. But as we have seen, the vocabulary of modern Arabio con-

fronts the lexicographer who aims at completeness with more than a fair Bhare of Prob-

lems and difficulties.


Introduction

In the presentation of the entries in the dictionary, homonymous roots are given separate-
ly in only a few especially clear instances. The arrangement of word entriea under a given
root does not necessarily imply etymological relationship. Consistent
Separation of such roots
was dispensed with because the user of a praotioal dictionary of modern Arabio will
not
generally be concerned with Semitio etymology. In confonnity with the practice
customary
in bilingual diotionaries of modern European languages, where
the material is treated in
purely synchronic fashion, the origin of older loanwords and foreign terms is
not indicated.
For reoent loans, however, the source and the foreign word are usually given. Personal names
are generally omitted, but large numbers of geographical names are included; the niaba
adjectivea of these can be formed at will, hence are not entered unless some
peouliarity such
as a broken plural is involved. In transliteration, while the ending of nisba
adjectivea regu-
larly appears as -i (e.g., janbi, dirsi, mklet), the same ending
is shown as -iy for nominal
forms of roots with a weak third radioal, i.e., where the third radical is contained
in the
ending (e.g., qasiy, sabiy, mahmly, mabniy). This distinetion, not present in Arabic Script,
may prove valuable to the user of the dictionary. Because of a distinetion which retains
importance in quantitative metrics, the third person Singular masculine Suffix is
transcribed
with a long vowel (-h, -M) following Short syllables and with a Short vowel (-Au, -hi) after
long syllables. In any bilingual dictionary, the listing of isolated words
with one or more
isolated translationsis, striotly epeaking, an inadmissible abstraction. In
Order to provide
the syntactical Information to be expected in a dictionary of this size, a
liberal selection
of kiiomatic phrases and sentences illustrating usage has been added.
Symbols showing the
aecraative and prepositional government of verbs are also supplied.
Synonyms and trans-
lationshave been included in large numbers in Order to delineate as accurately as possible
the semantie ranges within which a given entry can be used.
The material for the dictionary was gathered in several stages. The major portion
was
collected between 1940 and 1944 with the co-operation of several German orientalists. The
entire work was set in type, but only one set of galleys survived the war. The author
resumed
the collection of material in the years 1946 through 1948 and added a considerable
number
of entries. The German edition of the dictionary, Arabisches Wrterbuch fr die Schriftsprache
der Gegenwart, which appeared
in 19S2, was based on a corpus of appnnrimately 45,000 slips
containing oitations ftom Arabic sources. The primary source materials consisted
of selected
works by Th Husain, Muhammad Husain Haikai, Tauflq al-Haklm, Mahmud Taimr,
Juhrn Kalil Jubrn, and Amin ar-Raihani. Further, numerous Egyptian
al-Manfalti,
newspapers and periodicals, the Egyptian State almanac, taqwim misr, for 1935
and its
Iraqi counterpart, datil al-'irq, for 1937, as well as a nurober of
specialized Egyptian
handbooks wore thoroughly sifted. The secondary sources used in preparation of the German
edition were the first edition of Leon Bercher's Lexiqut arabe-francais (1938), which
provides material fron the Tunisian press in the form of a Supplement to
J. B. Belot's
Vocabulaire arabe-jrancais, G. S. Colin's Pour lire la presse arabe
(1937), the third edition of
E. A. Elias' comprehensive Modern Dictionary Arabic- English (1929), and the glossary of
the
modem Arabic chrestomathy by C. V. Ode-Vassilieva (1929). Items in the secondary sources
for which there were attestations in the primary sources were, of oourse,
included. All other
items in the secondary sources were carefully worked over, in part with the help of Dr. Tahir
Khemiri. Words known to him, or already included in older dictionaries, were incorporated.
Apart from the primary and secondary sources, the author had, of oourse, to consult a number
of reference works in European languages, encyclopedias, leiicons, glossaries,
teohnical

and specialized literature on the most diverse subjeots in Order to ascertain the

collections were, however, not simply aooepted and incorporated

inserted in the proof almost up to the prsent time. It was therefore possible to inolude a

number of contributions made by Dr. Walter Jesser in Alexandria. The number of cross-
:

Introduction XII

references has been conaiderably inoreased. A new type fnt was introduced for the Arabic.
The second edition of Webster' b New International Dictionary was used as a Standard refer-
ence for spelling and for certain definitions. On the Suggestion of the editor, three changes
were made in the System of transliteration used in the German edition, namely, for
;
r ,

% for , and g for . Also, following hia preferenoe, proper namea were transiiterated without
oapital letters, Bince there is no capitalization in Arabic soript. The author followed a Sugges-
tion made by Prof. Charles A. Ferguson in hia review of the dictionary (Language 30 174, :

1954) to transcribe feminine endings of roots having a weak third.radical (l\-) with the pausal
form -A instead of dt. Also following Dr. Ferguson' s advice, the author has transcribed many
more foreign words than in the German edition. The letters e, c, 9, o, , g, v, and p, which
have no counterpart in classioal Arabio, have been added. The system of transcription for
Arabic word throughout the diotionary is simply a transliteration of the Arabic script. For
foreign word and Arabic dialeot words, however, the usual transliteration of the Arabic is

inadequate to indicate the pronunoiation. In order to avoid diacrepancy between spelling and
pronunciation, the author, in his German edition, would oftenrefrain from giving any tran-
scription at all, but merely enter the foreign word as a rough guide to pronunciation. In the
present edition practically all foreign words have been transcribed (e.g., diblmsi, hikoptar,
viz, vEt) with the help of the added letters. Arab studenta at the University of Mnster were
consulted for the approzimately corract pronunoiation. Nevertheless, in many instances the
foreign source word is also entered becauae pronunoiation variea considerably from Speaker to
Speaker, depending on the dialeot and the degree of assimilation. One other deviation from
a striot transliteration of the Arabic was made for certain foreign words in order to provide
a oloser approximation to the usual pronunoiation. In writing European words with Arabic
letters, I
, j , ^ are, contrary to regulr praotice in Arabic, frequently used to indicate short
vowels. Where thi is the case, we have transoribed accordingly (e.g., J^kPj' otomliki,
iljU'li danmark).
Finally, the author wishes to erpreea his Bincere gratitude to the editor, Prof. J Milton
Gowan, thanks to whose initiative and energy this English edition can now be presented to
the public. Hia generoua expenditure of time and effort on this project has been greatly
appreciated by all involved. To Theodora Ronayne, who performed the exacting taak of
preparing a meticulously accurate typescript, thereby conaiderably lightening our Iabors,
we are indeed grateful. Professor Cowan joine me in recording our special thanks to Mr. Karl
Stowasser, whose quite remarkable oommand of the three languages involved and whose
unusual abilities as a lexicographer proved indispensable. He has devoted his untiring efforts
to this enterprise for the past four years, oo-ordinating the work of editor and author across
the Atlantic. The bulk of the translation was oompleted in 1967-1958, while he was in
Ithaca. During the past two years in Mnster he has oompleted the incorporation of the
Supplement into the body of the dictionary and assisted the author in seeing the work through
the press.

The following paragraphs describe the arrangement of entries and explain the use of
Symbols and abbreviations
Arabio words are arranged aocording to Arabic .'oota. Foreign words are listed in straight
alphabetical order by the letters of the word (cf. ^ j\j bris Paris, jitf kdir cadre) . Arabi-
XIII Introduction

cized loanwords,if they olearly fit under the roots, are entered both wayB,
often with the root

entry giving a reference to the alphabetical listing (cf. jj\i qnn law, ii'jy naizak spear).
Two or more homonymous roots may be entored as separate items, inclnding foreign
words treatcd as Arabic forms (e.g., e karim under the Arabic root '^f nd '(.' tlle

French word crime; cf. also the consonant combination k-r-k). In Order to indicate to the

reader that the same Order of letters occurs more than once and that he should not confine
his search to the first listing, each entry is precedcd by a small raised numeral (cf. jj, _,>).

Under a given root the sequencc of entries is as follows. The verb in the perfeet of the base

stein, if it exists, oomes first with the transliteration indicating the vowcling. It is followed

by the vowel of the imperfect and, in parenthesos, the verbal nouns or mafdir. Then come

the derived stems, indicated by boldface Roman immerals II through X. For Arab users

unaccustomed to this dcsignation genorally used by Western orientalists, the corresponding

stem forms are: II JjJ ja"aU, III Jeti jula, IV Jil afala, V Jxil tafa'ala, VI J*U3
lajaala, VII Jxl infu'ala, VIII J=il ifta'alu, IX Jjl ifalla, X JjiJ isiafula. Whcrever

there is any irregularity, for the rare stems XI through XV, and for the derived stems
of

quadriliteral verbs the Arabic form is entered and translitcrated (cf. y VII, i*~j VIII, ^**- XII,

-Ulm III). Then come nominal forms arranged aecording to their length. Verbal nouns of the
stems II through and all active and passive partieiplcs follow at the end. The latter are
X
listed as separate items only when their meaning is not immediately obvious from the verb,

particularly where a substantival or adjeetival translation is possible (cf. ^rU- hjib under

^JC, J^-U shil under J#). The sequence under a given root is not determined by historical
considorations. Thus, a verb derived from a foreign Word is plaeed at the head of the entire
2
section (cf. l aqlama, t\j II).

Essentially synonymous definitions are separated by commas. A semicolon marks the

beginning of a definition in a different semantic rnge.


The syntaotic markings accompanying the definitions of a verb are a for the aecusative

of a person, * for the aecusative of a thing, U for the feminine of animate beings, for a
f
group of persona. It should be noted that the Arabic included in parentheses is to be read

from right to left even if separated by the word "or" (cf. ^ji, ^ij). Verb objeets in English

are expressed by s.o. (someone) and s.th. (something), the reflexive by o.s. (onesclf).

A dash oecurring within a section indicates that the following form of a plural or of a
verbal noun, or in some instances the introduction of a new voweling of the main entry.
holds for all following meanings in the section even if theso are not synonymous and are
separated by semicolons. This dash invalidates all previously given verbal nouns, imperfect

vowels, plurals, and othor data qualifying the main entry. It indicates that all following defini-

tions apply only to this Iatest sub-entry (cf. Ji^- ka\aqu, J.U 'adala).

In the transcription, which indicates the voweling of the unpointed Arabic, nouns are
given in pausal form without tanwin. Only nouns derived from vorbs with a weak third
radical are transcribed with nunnation (e.g., ^\j qdin, ^1m muqladan, Ju matan in

contrast with Sj^ 1


.
&uir).

A raised z
following the transcription of a noun indicates that it is a diptote. This indication

is often omitted from Western geographical terms and other recent non-Arabic proper names
because the inflected ending is practically never pronounced and the marking would have
only theoretical value (cf.
^^O -' 2 Mokholm, Jj.,1
abrll).

The Symbol O precedes newly coined technical terms, chiefly in the fields of technology,

which were repeatedly found in context but whose general aeeeptance among specialista could
Introduction XIV

not be established with certainty (cf. jUlJ tfz television aet, ^j*- hads Intuition, j- miharr
heating installation).
The symbol D precedes thoae dialect words for which the Arabic Bpelling suggests a
colloquial pronunciation (cf. jLu- haddf, 'Ja*- II).

Dialect words are marked with abbreviations in lower-case lottere (e.g., syr., leb., saud.-ar.,

eto.). These are also used to inrlicate words which were found only in the sources of a particular
area, This does not neceBsarily mean that a word or meaning is confined to that area (cf. j jjU-
jrr, ^ baffia, oUJLt Silmn).
The same abbreviations, but with capital letters, mark entries as the generally accepted
technioal terms or the official designations for public officee, institutions, administrative
departments, and the like, of the country in question (cf.
_r-Lf
i
majlis, i& mahkama).
The abbreviation Isl. Law marks the traditional terminology of Islamic fiqh (cf. i-u-
hadat, U li'n, <i* mt'a), as distinguished from the technical terms of modern juris-

prudence whioh are oharacterized by the abbreviation jur, (cf. ^Af 'amdi, ^Sj talabbus).
<J
For other abbreviated labeis see List of Abbreviations below.
Elatives of the form aj'cdu are translated througbout with the Englih comparative
because this moat often fite the meaning. The reader should bear in mind, however, that in
oertain contexts they will best be rendered either with the positive or the Superlative.
The heavy vertical stroke | terminates the definitions under an entry. It is followed by
phrases, idioms, and sentences which illustrate the phraseologioal and syntactic use of that
entry. These did not have to be transcribed in fll because it has been necesaary to asaume
an elementary knowledge of rabio morphology and synbax on the part of the user, without
which it is not poasible to use a dictionary arranged according to roote. Consequently, no
tranacription is given after the vertical Btroke for:

1 the entry itself, but it is abbreviated wherever it is part of a genitive Compound (e.g.,

. al-ma'li under hib, husn al-u. under vhdvia) ;

2 nounB whose Arabic speUing is relatively unambiguous (e.g., I-tfli, pU, jUT, jU);

In transcription, two nouns forming a genitive Compound are treated as a
transoribed aa noun
definite article
noun, with the entry word abbreviated (of under ^--L. .

ahib, _1 Sibh). In a noun Compound where the seoond noun is in apposition or attributive,

it alone is transoribed (cf. under lj\ ibra, iU- jild). In this manner the difference between
the two oonstructions is brought out clearly without resorting to transliteration of the i'rb
endings. A feminine noun ending in - a, as first member of a genitive Compound, is also abbre-

viated, and the construct ending -t is to be read even though it is not expressed in the

transcription.
