[Megillot] DSS Aramaic dictionary?

[Søren Holst]

It surprised me to find that M. Sokoloff's recent (well, 2003) "Dictionary of 
Judean Aramaic" does not include the Qumran material (but does include 
documentary texts from the Dead Sea region). His methodologically sound reasons 
may be deduced from the preface of the book, so I'm certainly not blaming him, 
but until he or the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon project comes up with one or 
more dictionaries of the Aramaic dialects represented in the DSS, what's the 
best solution to the practical problem of telling students where to look up 
words?
 
-- K. Beyer's ATTM+E covers all the material, but while Beyer is a great 
philologist, his reconstructions of manuscripts can be a bit idiosyncratic, I 
think.
-- It might be convenient to use the Aramaic part of Abegg's concordance as a 
glossary to start with, I guess.
-- My usual first stop-off is Sokoloff's dictionary of "Jewish Palestinian 
Aramaic", anachronistic as this may be (it's primarily a dictionary of the 
Yerushalmi and related midrashim and targumim).
-- I seem to remember that list owner Penner has produced quite copious 
vocabulary lists, but hardly an actual dictionary, right?
 
any suggestions?
