Re: Size of your dictionary

Hejida,

It is not the size which counts, it is how you use it, if you excuse that
innuendo. While I have somewhat more than 600 words in rejistanian, it might be
that low, because I often only pin down one meaning. For example, I could have
defined kali as urban and/or municipal, kali'het as city, kali'han'het as
immigration to the cities, kali'han'tan as urbanization, 'kali as (full or
partial) nationalization done by the municipal government and so on, I only listed
kali.

I keep my dictionary as a 7 bit ASCII txt file and search for words by Crtl+K+F in
my favorite editor. This is easiest and works everywhere!

Va'il veka,
Mechthild
