Re: A saga for translation

Hi Pablo!  Just FYI, I have added _smalk_
and _meavalth_ to my Teonaht glossary with
slightly different spelling, and different
meanings.  It might amuse you to look them
up!  The glossary is hardly comprehensive;
I've been filling in the earlier letters
as you'll note sooner than the later ones,
although "t" is getting some attention.  A
difficult task which has me poring over the
old notes I took for years and correcting
and collating them.  I'll never get done!

You might have to do a "refresh."  I'm uploading
it again now.
