I'll try to read them this weekend. How can I get them using CVS? I know how to update the files I already have, but I couldn't figure out how to get new files. >My current thinking, btw, is that forethought >connectives are not worth mentioning in an introductory course, as they >are too infrequently used. Hmmm... My impression is that {ge} is far more frequent than {jai}, for example, but I can't prove it. Would it be too difficult to generate word frequency and cmavo frequency lists from jbosnu-list, or from the irc-logs, for example? It would be interesting to compare them with the ancient word frequency lists I remember having seen somewhere sometime. co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
