I simplify relay-wordlists somewhat. The {sï}-prefix is (among other things) to make the word a valid dictionary-form. It is safe to assume that if you can't find a noun in the dictionary, prefix {sï} and try again. It's similar to having to look up a German noun in the singular, or a verb in most IE langs in the infinitive. So, a page with "how to use the dictionary" is needed... t.
