Hold your horses!

The reference work is Mihalic 1971 and obviously 'graun' is in there.
Mihalic omitted a number of words in error - e.g 'welkam' - or chose a
spelling variant that might not have been the best one - e.g. 'karapua' when
'kalapua' would seem more common - but he got most words extant at the time
of publication.

There are many new words since 1971, and plenty of old ones not heard
recently - e.g. 'morso', 'amberoi', 'arovar', so feel free to throw light on
them.

For words like 'graun', have another read of the introduction on the web
site and check Mihalic. We'll get around to them in due course, Rome wasn't
built in a day.
