trust the OED
I dunno, mav, a bunch of generalists vs some fanatics in the field? Not to mention that a single volume covering Dal to Lek seems a little unlikely.

I can see where there might be a volume labeled Dal - Ek. But to my way of thinking, here's reason enough not to trust them  : Lexicographers don't have ‘favourite’ words .

For other reasons, I don't find that much more likely than Dal - Lek. And the OED article says Dal - Lek anyway. No, I'm going with the geeks on this one.
