My computer counts 1,870 dictionary entries. However there are still about 350 in another list, so all in all I have an estimated 2,220 entries. I say entries because from the beginning on I was not wise enough to go by roots. Nowadays I care a little more for not making up unrelated words as I need them, but I still don't organize my dictionary by roots. However a feature to sort by semantic domain (to make a thematic dictionary) is planned.

I use a MySQL database with a PHP frontend.
