With this work, the grammarian Al-Jawhari introduced a new ordering of the dictionaries of Arabic by arranging the words according to their last radicals. The motive for this new ordering is unclear but could be related to the need for poets and writers to find rhymes for their composition (Kees Versteegh, Landmarks in Linguistic Thought III, 1997, p. 31)
The numerous notes on the manuscript indicate that it was in Mecca and and Isfahan and was the prototype for a revised version of the work.
