The standard reference grammar for Syriac is Nöldeke, Compendious Syriac 
Grammar. There are public domain versions of it available, as it was done in 
the early 20th century--originally in German as Kurzgefasste Syrische 
Grammatik, if German is more comfortable for you.

The best lexicon was just published a few years ago: Sokoloff's A Syriac 
Lexicon. Otherwise, there is Payne-Smith's Compendious Syriac Dictionary and 
her father's monstrous (Latin) Thesaurus Syriacus. I believe both of those 
are on the web.

Disclaimer: most of the above are published by my employer, Eisenbrauns. 

HTH,
James
