You may look at the following:

1- al-Khaliil ibn Ahmad al-Faraahiidy (100-175 H) " Kitaab al-Cayn" ed.
Abdullah  Darwiish, Part one. Cairo, Egypt (year ?).

2- al-Khaliil ibn Ahmad al-Faraahiidy (100-175 H) "Tartiib  Kitaab al-Cayn"
ed. Mahdy al-Makhzuumy and Ibraahiim al-Saamurraa'y, Three parts.
Intishaaraat Iswah (al-TaabiCa li-munathamit al-'awqaaf wal-'umuur
al-khayriyya), Qum, Iran. (1414 H).

3- 'aby Caly al-qaaly (288-356 H), " al-'amaaly" Daar al-Hadiith, Bayruut,
Lubnaan, 1984.

As for the difference between the first and the second book (i.e,
dictionary) of Kitaab al-Cayn is in the first book, the words (roots) are
arranged phonetically, but in the second, the words (roots) are arranged
alphabetically. The third book is not a dictionary.

Dear Mr. Arnzen!

In Arabian studies we don't have even a tiny fraction of glossaries
or word-lists of what the classicists have for Latin and Greek!

Try the following:

- "List of sources" in Endress / Gutas, Greek and Arabic Lexicon
(=HdO I.11) for Arabic - Greek glossaries

- The "Abkürzungsverzeichnis" (3rd ed.) of WKAS lists amoung a
lot of other sources also a few glossaries and word-indices..

- Try the Noor al-Sira CD-ROM. It contains 4 important
historiographical works (Tabari etc.)

- For a concordance on Nahg al-balagha, cf. my review in ZAL 30
(1995)

Good luck,

Stefan Weninger
