You're welcome. I'm hoping that now that the
dictionary is up on the web, it'll draw some attention
to mangani. I would have liked to have consulted on
the Disney film, but I found out about it too late.
I'm going to see if I can help out on other Tarzan
productions, but I don't expect most producers to
really care about getting the language right (the
producers of "Greystoke" might have cared, but I
hadn't written the dictionary then).
