Exciting library. Gorgias catalogue is so full of interesting books. I just got one on the armenians in India. As for Syriac I have not digged further into that book. Armenian written in latin letters is terrible. Once you've learned armenian alphabet anything else annoying.

I will certainly look into your library.

Dear Garzo,

And I wish I could learn Classical Armenian.

(I was asking on the off-chance, thank you for your gracious consideration.)

Yours,
Kushana

Ah, and the Bibles: first of all I love them for themseves, but second, having a Bible in a language is one of the solidest, surest and easiest ways for me to pick up some of that language, since I have the tremendous advantages of familiar context!

It is fun; languages fascinate me, and I've really enjoyed getting my tags set up, though that's very much a work in progress! Why did you choose to focus on Syriac? I did a semester of Aramaic a while back, but frankly, the teacher's methodology made things pretty difficult; I survived as well as I did because I'd already been studying Arabic a while. During the final exam I had one of those "lightbulb moments" about how similar the two languages were in their verb systems--how wonderful things would have been had that dawned om me earlier!

Wow, you surely have some intriguing titles!
