Abstract:

A personal exercise book, with words arranged according to their form and grouped by the last letter, starting with the words ending with "alif", "bā" etc. It is technically Ottoman, since it contains some Ottoman/Persian words, but most words are Arabic and arranged according to the Arabic form of the maṣdar plus the final letter of the root.
