My wife helped me find and dig out the great Tome of Etymology from where it was buried. I spent a few minutes comparing what you had with what was in the book, and had no complaints about the dozen odd words I looked up. Alas, a serious effort to use the book to solve your problems will take much time. The hundreds of sheets are not ordered in any way and are not indexed. There are 4 words to the typical page in no particular order, and thus the pages couldn't be ordered if I wanted to. The only way I will find the missing and problem words is pretty much to go through a page at a time. I still have the Russian dictionary we used for the original work as well. I'll see if I can make an effort on it in the next week or two. lojbab To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
