Lane, Edward William (1863-1893) “R:ar:Lane”, in Arabic-English Lexicon, London: Williams & Norgate.


This template cites the uncompleted The Arabic–English Lexicon, compiled by Edward William Lane (died 1876). The dictionary is sorted by roots. The template uses the usual Template:cite-book parameters.

Some additional parameters can be used to link to differnt online versions:

  • Instead of |entry= or |1=, any of the following parameters can take as value the term to display and link:
    • |qr= = at https://www.quranic-research.net/ , which can be navigated by URL down to the Arabic root, where subentries are nested.
    • |qryahia= = at https://www.arabic-english-dictionary.com/ similar to the above, but latinization of the root radicals is shown prominently, and under each root, the subheading are spread rather than nested, and color blocks are applied to the entries' text.
    • |perseus= = Perseus digital library. With the original digital transcription of the dictionary, and familiar to many users, but otherwise unappealing presentation and buggy internal links, and missing the frontmatter.
    • |hawr= for https://arabiclexicon.hawramani.com/william-edward-lane-arabic-english-lexicon/ . It adds some inline annotation of subheadings, and definition of the many abbreviations in tooltips. It is useful to redirect lemmas and forms so that they automatically redirect to the root entry. Lane's is followed by some other dictionaries, mostly older ones. This is set as the default for |entryurl=.
  • |page= and |pages= link to a scanned copy on the Internet Archive. The English text is OCRed, the Arabic is not. |ia= for the book URL: https://archive.org/details/ArabicEnglishLexicon.CopiousEasternSources.EnlargedSuppl.Kamoos.Lane.Poole.1863/
  • |entry= (et al) and |entryurl= can be set manually to bypass all linking presets.
