Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13657 Another one from the gold mine that is aldiboronti of wordorigins: http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~kurisuto/germanic/language_resources.html Top #123330 - 09/23/04 07:24 PM Re: D'ya ken this link? sjmaxq Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/20/03 Posts: 3230 Loc: Te Ika a Maui Thanks, F. Do you happen to know if there is any review of the user editing that is done? It's a little wiki-ish. In the case of wikipedia, there is no review of the user editing at all, so I could edit the page on Hannukkah to describe it as a Mayan blood sacrifice ritual, dedicated to the God Zarniwoop. I am loathe to point to a resource as easily invalidated. _________________________ noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html Top #123331 - 09/23/04 08:48 PM Re: D'ya ken this link? Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13657 I suggested it for the wealth of old Germanic dictionaries, editing of which is all done and gone lo these many years hence. Might not be the latest research, but Top #123332 - 09/24/04 12:57 AM Re: D'ya ken this link? sjmaxq Carpal Tunnel Registered: 07/20/03 Posts: 3230 Loc: Te Ika a Maui Good enough. I was just a little concerned by this: "The Volunteer page contains a sophisticated web-based system which allows you to reserve a dictionary page, correct it, and submit the corrections. Please volunteer!" _________________________ noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html Top #123333 - 09/29/04 09:13 PM Re: Useful language links Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13657 I don't think you have this one, Max: http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/ But beware. There's quicksand in there.
