Top #199148 - 04/15/11 07:31 AM Re: Linguistic therapy [Re: Faldage] Avy old hand Registered: 06/23/00 Posts: 724 I have individual relationships with my various dictionaries. A Marathi to English - I hate - it never helps. So many words I have not found in it. A big urdu(nastaliq) to English I like but it is an effort since my nastaliq is not too good and the dictionary is huge. I have a teeny tiny Urdu (devanagri) to English which I love! It never fails me. It seems written for poetry. Any difficult urdu word in a poem I will find in this dictionary even though it is just 3"x 3". My English-sanksrit is like a wise old man. It is there for me when I need it, which is not that often.

It has to be so refreshing. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep---- Top #199167 - 04/15/11 11:21 AM Re: Linguistic therapy [Re: Avy] tsuwm Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/03/00 Posts: 10538 Loc: this too shall pass one problem I have with researching obscure words is that I have just too many dictionaries to search through in attempting to find them - and too often none of them are helpful.
