Yangpela Didiman

[BURTON John]

Mihalicers

I am back from holidays, but our IT manager is not, hence no FTP to update
the site. I hope to solve this problem in the next few days.

In the meantime, I am working to put in as many of the straightforward
entries from the Jacaranda Mihalic as I can. This is a slow business because
even a seeming plain entry like "katim" can take more than an hour when one
considers extra nuances and reorganises the examples.

A welcome task, should anyone wish to take it on, would be for someone to
simply count the headwords in the 1959 and 1971 (Jacaranda) editions.
Perhaps someone has done this already? I want to add more stats to the
current site.

In moving I have also located some "Yangpela Didiman" booklets ("Lukautim
Meme", "Lukautim Pis" ...) put out by Kristen Press in the 1970s. I expect
many of you have fuller libraries of these and similar things. Perhaps we
could catalogue such things and look for interesting examples in them
(e.g.several techniques for "katim bol" explained in detail in "Lukautim
Meme").

Happy New Year.
