Ein vorläufiges Verbglossar zum aussterbenden neuaramäischen Senaya-Dialekt by Estiphan Panoussi is a preliminary but substantial lexical and grammatical documentation of the Senaya dialect, a highly endangered variety of Neo-Aramaic spoken by a small Chaldean Catholic community originally from Sena (Sanandaj), Iran. The introduction explains that the dialect is nearing extinction due to large-scale diaspora migration—especially to Los Angeles—and language shift to Persian and English among younger generations (pp. 165–166).
 
The core of the document is a verb glossary, organized alphabetically and supported by grammatical annotations. It records verbal roots, conjugational patterns, meanings, usage notes, and cross-references to related dialects (e.g., Urmian, Alqosh, Kurdish, Persian, Arabic). Panoussi situates the verbs within the Senaya verbal system, outlining its conjugations, tense–aspect distinctions, and pronominal constructions, while noting divergences from better-documented Neo-Aramaic dialects. The data is drawn largely from primary oral sources, including recorded narratives from native speakers—most notably the author’s father—making the work both scholarly and testimonial in character.
 
Overall, the document functions as an emergency linguistic preservation effort: not a polished dictionary, but a rigorously informed working glossary intended to safeguard irreplaceable linguistic material for future grammars, dictionaries, and comparative Semitic studies.
