The ERC project DASI is aimed at digitizing the overall epigraphic heritage of the ancient Arabian peninsula, in order to enhance knowledge of the pre-Islamic Arabian languages and cultures. This paper describes the challenges faced and the solutions proposed in the construction of a digital lexicon tool for under-resources languages such as those attested in the epigraphic documentation of pre-Islamic Arabia.
