A study of lost military words and terms from dictionaries based on Adab-al-Harb va Al-shaja’ah (types of arrowheads and Maces)

Despite the writing of various dictionaries in the Persian language, there are still many Persian words that have been overlooked by lexicographers or some forms of them have not been recorded. Recently, with the study of various Persian sources and the preparation of rich corpora, attempts have been made to record the lost words and to some extent compensate, but still this problem has not been solved properly. The Adab al-Harb va al-Shaja’ah is one of the valuable Persian works that has a great reputation both in terms of antiquity and having general words and military terms that many of these words has not been registered. Also, due to the specialization of this book in the military subject, research in this subject is of great importance; However, due to the wide range of military terms and their various dimensions in this book, it is not possible to research in all these dimensions; Therefore, in this study, only military words that related to the types of arrowheads and Maces are recorded and introduced for the first time. The method is to study this book and extract related words, and the next step is to search in Persian dictionaries to make it clear that these words have not been previously recorded in any of them. The result of this research indicates that there are thirteen military terms that have not been recorded in any dictionaries so far, and this paper is the first that records and registers these terms.
