Test the site

[Piet Lincoln]

John,

Thanks for the look at the site.   A good start.

1)  I like link to the original .

2)  I like link to discussion thread.

3)  I hate frames!  Lose them if at all possible.

4)  Post some real entries.  For example, the entry for /skin/  was so
abbreviated that I didn't know where my addition:  /skinim kok/  'retract
foreskin'  would go.

5)  /biras/   'brass'    was under /bras/  M75,  revision has the gloss for
latter as 'mate, brother.'  Surely you don't want to imply with these
spellings that we now have this minimal pair??  Are there individuals using
both /bras/ and /bada/ as roughly synonyms both from E brother?   What does
that say about their sound system?  I don't know either word.

6) What happened to /brata/  'sibling of same sex'?  Has it been bleached of
its Melanesian meaning?

7)  Are you keeping Mihalic's layout?    Good choice, I like it.
    Please keep making claims of etymology but reduce the visual impact i.e.
"(E brother)"     is better than  "English brother."   Perhaps a smaller
font too?

hoping these comments are helpful,

cheers
