A quick count of entries in my Old Albic dictionary yields only
243 entries, but there are at least twenty words jotted down
elsewhere, including the ones I invented to translate the
relay text. I am very aware of the fact that Old Albic still
needs quite much work on the lexicon. I really should do more
translation exercises!
