Came across some stuff from Wolf Leslau at the “Educational Resources Information Center”. Six titles.

  • Intermediate Amharic Cultural Reader. Final Report
  • Basic Amharic Dictionary: Amharic-English, English Amharic
  • An Amharic Reference Grammar
  • An Annotated Bibliography of the Semitic Languages of Ethiopia
  • An English-Amharic Dictionary of Everyday Usage, Part I (A-L)
  • An English-Amharic Dictionary of Everyday Usage, Part II (L-Z)

The Reference Grammar is a PDF of a typewritten page with Ethiopic hand-written (with transliteration typed).

Leslau is a big name in Ge’ez studies; seeing this stuff freely downloadable seems (to me, anyway) like a big thing.

I’d never known about the ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center). It’s a .gov site … I’m still in shock that a .gov site had something of marginal interest to me.
