5.0 out of 5 stars
Good solid basic dictionary
Although I understand the technical reasons for not doing so, I wish that the examples and compounds were in the Tibetan script as the base entries are.

I especially appreciate the providing of the Sanskrit in devanagri where a Tibetan term is used...

Outdated (sometimes truly quaint) culturally, and definitely influenced by Jaschke's christian missionary orientation. Neverthless a classic that deserves a place on every Tibetan-English translator's bookshelf. I often consult it as a third-or-fourth opinion (after Rangjung Yeshe and Das) when I am searching for a good English match to the Tibetan. Was a pioneering work in its time, deserves continuing use within limits of its view.

I appreciate, however, the citations being full phrases so that the dictionary helps one learn written Tibetan. I especially appreciate the providing of the Sanskrit in devanagri where a Tibetan term is used technically as a translation of a Buddhist Sanskrit term. This is especially important for those whose primary language is Sanskrit but must learn Tibetan because so many Sanskrit Buddhist texts were lost.
