Last week Eisenbrauns announced the third edition of John Huehnergard’s A Grammar of Akkaidan.
Amongst a variety of updates and revisions, a new appendix of Akkadian cognates found in Hebrew, Syriac, Geʿez, and several other related languages has been added that may be of some help to those interested in comparative etymology/lexicography. These updates and Appendix F are available as a free downloadable PDF.
