The list of Russian source words [1] has been updated. Many thanks to everybody who has helped with this effort. The entire list has been checked against Evgeny's work [2]; many missing words have been added and erroneous reconstructions corrected. Proposals made on this list have also been incorporated. The English translations for the Russian source words have been improved. A list of known problems is included at the very end of this message, help with any of these would be much appreciated.
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.
