"Ainsi, Karolina Jaworska et Ahmad Al-Jallad proposent par cet ouvrage, un veritable dictionnaire de la langue des inscriptions safaitiques, qui vient completer la grammaire, publiee il y a quelques annees egalement chez Brill. Ces deux travaux offrent un eclairage majeur sur l'histoire des langues semitiques en general et de la langue arabe en particulier." ~ Jonas Sibony, Universite de Strasbourg, France, in Arabica 68/1 (2021), pp. 105-108.
