Thus, `betfu' is listed both under `abdomen' and `belly', instead of only under `abdomen'. This makes it easier to look up words if you are not at the computer. (When I think of a "stack of dishes", I don't think to look for a "heap of plates".) I indented the definitions field of the augmenting entries, to distinguish them from the original entries. Here are sample entries: betfu bef be'u abdomen abdomen of... 'belly' fange alien alien/foreign in prop...to... 'foreign' betfu bef be'u belly abdomen of... 'belly' palta pat dish plate/dish; an eating utensil 'platter' fange foreign alien/foreign in prop...to... derxi dex heap heap/pile/stack of...at... derxi dex pile of heap/pile/stack of...at... palta pat plate plate/dish; an eating utensil 'platter' derxi dex stack of heap/pile/stack of...at... The exercise added about 450 entries to the list (up to 1814 from 1357). File length increased to 127 kb. If an English order list is archived on the Planned Languages Server, it might be useful to include these second and subsequent entries for the convenience of those who print out the list. Robert J.
