The rules of spirantization in Syriac can be difficult to memorize, particularly for those who learn Syriac as their first Semitic language, but even for those who are familiar with other Semitic languages as well. In the present volume, George Anton Kiraz offers a basic introduction to the rules of Syriac spirantization. The volume includes this introduction in three languages: Arabic, Syriac and English. However, these are not just translations of the same material. The information and the means of presenting that information is unique to each language.
