The Karaites of the Crimean Peninsula spoke the Turkic language of Tatar. The present texts, for the instruction of Karaite youth, translate Hebrew terms into Judeo-Tatar, i.e. Tatar written in Hebrew characters. The final 160 pages of Vol. II consist of "Erech Milin," a Hebrew-Tatar dictionary, all in Hebrew characters.
