After Şenateş's death, the editor of the dictionary was Assoc. Prof. from Mardin Artuklu University, Department of Kurdish Language and Literature. Dr. Ahmet Kırkan made it, and writer Ömer Faruk Çetinkaplan prepared the dictionary for publication.

Assoc. Dr. Ahmet Kırkan said the following about the dictionary:

“This is the first time such a dictionary of this size has been published as Zazaki. Şaban Hodja had finished the dictionary, so we edited it and prepared it for publication. A Zazaki dictionary of this size with more than 36 thousand 800 words and nearly 2 thousand 500 pages was published for the first time. According to Şaban Hodja, he worked on it for nearly 30 years. Hodja also went to Siverek, Çermik, Gerger, Çüngüş, and other regions where Zazas live, and collected oral sources from the public by meeting with people and making evaluations. This is not just a local dictionary; different pronunciations and pronunciations from different regions are also included in the dictionary. Şaban Hodja did not prepare a dictionary specific to only one field or one region. This dictionary is very comprehensive. I can say that this is the most comprehensive and voluminous Zazaki dictionary ever published. “He was also scanning books for sources.”
