Just today there was a post on Conculture about this (the Holly Lisle Create
Clinic series): <quote> These books are not available on Amazon, Powells,
nor any other used
book store.
They are only available through Lulu.
These books are Holly Lisle's Create a Plot Clinic; Holly Lisle's
Create a Character Clinic; Holly Lisle's Create a Culture Clinic; and
Holly Lisle's Create a Language Clinic.</quote>

One comment about the last was that it might just be about creating bits and
pieces that would "look" like a language, but wouldn't be complete. The
problem, apparently, with Lulu is that you can't see any samples of the
books, just have to send in your money and hope. That could be
disappointing.........

Isn't there something on Zompist, How to Create a Language sort of thing??
Ah yes: http://zompist.com/kit.html   I also remember Pablo Flores' similar
and very good pages on the same subject, but I'm not sure they're still
available.

As to Greek and Latin dictionaries, I can't help. Liddell and Scott IIRC is
standard for one of them; have you tried googling? _Perseus_  rings a
bell............
