Reader Reviews:
Most complete GA dictionary, but confusing. (5/5 people found this helpful)
Odd dictionary, which uses arabic letters for each of the gulf arabic roots, which is a problem for learners non-readers of Arabic. This does also lead to confusion - jiim, for example, is used both for words containing classical jiim and classical qaaf. This would be fair if there wasn't a good degree of flexibility in "Gulf Arabic". Personally I find it confusing. I find Dr. Qafisheh's previous "Glossary of Gulf Arabic" (pub. Librairie du Liban) more useful esp. as it is GA-English and English-GA, but this new work is more complete.
