>Do all the entries have etymologies?
My bad(or should that be, meera bad)! "Etymology" is not the right word. Every entry has only an indication of its origin, S[anskrit], A[rabic], P[ersian], Brbh [Brajbhasa], etc.
It's not a lexicographical work really. To paraphrase another ancient literary masterpiece, it scored over older, more pedestrian works in two important respects: First, it was much cheaper, and second, it's paperback, so the shipping costs from Amazon.com to Zild were not prohibitive. It's not even E-H-E, just H-E. That at least means a reasonably comprehensive number of entries without an unwieldy size.
Checking for the link at Amazon, I see that the price is now $24.50US, down from the $32 I paid.
