This is the first Tibetan-to-English verb resource to be published in more than thirty years. It is a verb dictionary containing extensive lexical information. Much more than a mere translation of existing works; this lexicon was compiled employing statistical techniques and data; and draws on sources spanning the 1;200 years of Tibet's classical literature and covering all major lineages. The lexicon contains over 1;700 root verb forms and phrasal verb subentries and incorporates a wide range of information not previously available in dictionary form. The individual entries are in Tibetan script and contain English meanings; Sanskrit equivalents; complete sentences drawn from the corpus of Tibetan classical literature; and related sentence structure information. An extensive introduction to contemporary linguistic theory as applied to Tibetan verbs presents the theoretical underpinnings of the lexicon.

DisappointedBy Marjorie J.Boyden-EdmondsI am doing a Masters in Divinity; I had ordered this book as; "used"; first I got the wrong book from thrift book and later was told I had to reorder because they did not have the book in book. This was after several weeks of waiting.22 of 25 people found the following review helpful. Both avant-garde and orthodoxBy Wes J. ArblasterFowl's work includes contributors who engage in diverse forms of biblical interpretation; yet who hold in common the ability to move beyond the "critical" exegesis which has so dominated biblical interpretation these last centuries. This compilation; representing both pre and postmodernity; speaks to a movement that is both traditional and progressive; orthodox and avant-garde. As such this work is "prophetic" in the double sense of the term: heralding the coming of something new; and calling us back to what has gone before.1 of 93 people found the following review helpful.
