Beyond single words: Ma’ida – Shaytan – jibt and taghut. Mechanisms of transmission into the Ethiopic (GY‘Yz) Bible and the Qur’anic text

This is a workshop report on ongoing research; bibliographical references have been reduced to a minimum. The aim of the report for this conference is to present the first salient results of project, “Ethiopic influence on the Qur’an and Early Islam,” that I have undertaken since 2002. It developed out of the larger frame of the Thesaurus linguae aethiopicae, meant as a collection of digital Ethiopic texts and presented on-line to the scientific community.1
