The second one termed as Merkato Raguel Manuscriptrn(MRM) is dated at the time of king Menellik II.rnThe study compares both Manuscripts for philological study. And it containsrnaddition of new words, relieving of words, morphological comparison,rnhomoteleuton error, negativity of words and metathesis.
