The Agenda

This blog is intended as a personal Arabic vocabulary building exercise. Readers are welcome to participate through comments or by eventually becoming members. The goal is simple: every week, I will pick at least three ِ Arabic or Hebrew words from a literary text and will then link them to their Arabic or Hebrew cognates. In most cases, the Arabic cognates will be taken from modern standard Arabic, but I may also draw on various colloquial forms of Arabic.

The goal, as I noted at the outset, is to help me build my Arabic vocabulary through mental associations with related Hebrew words.
