"Ainsi, Karolina Jaworska et Ahmad Al-Jallad proposent par cet ouvrage, un véritable dictionnaire de la langue des inscriptions safaïtiques, qui vient compléter la grammaire, publiée il y a quelques années également chez Brill. Ces deux travaux offrent un éclairage majeur sur l’histoire des langues sémitiques en général et de la langue arabe en particulier." ~ Jonas Sibony, Université de Strasbourg, France, in Arabica 68/1 (2021), pp. 105-108.
