I must confess I never studied any Ethiopic, in fact I never even opened a grammar of it! The alphabet looks upside down to me. I was very glad when HALAT/HALOT used transliteration for it in their etymologies. I never could make sense of the script in either BDB or KB2. I think I finally figured out what shin looked like. But, for those of you who need to learn it, one of the standard grammars is available again:
