		However, for someone who's main interest, like mine, is in comparative linguistics and not in learning the language per se, but who wants to learn the something about the language, about the grammar, and how it works and is structures, this book is fine.
		The language is based on the typical tri-consonantal root system for Semitic family languages, like Arabic, Aramaic, Ugaritic, and Hebrew (but not Hittite, which is now known to be of Indo-European origin).
		Weak and strong verbs don't have the same meaning as in the Germanic family languages, where strong verbs form the past tense by an internal vowel change, as in "speak" and "spoke." A weak verb just means that verbs with stem endings in certain letters lose these letters when adding the conjugational endings.

		A knowledge of how language works is assumed (grammatical structures, as well as some knowledge of non-Latinate scripts -- Hebrew/Aramaic is very helpful here) and some familiarity with languages that do not have a strict adherence to sound-character correspondence would also be helpful.
		Like any language, there are large sections which must simply be committed to memory, both of rules and of vocabulary and word-construction variations.
		However, like any language, it was intended to be understood, not confused, and thus there are patterns which become clear upon closer inspection.
