I've just put up a new version of the Elet Anta vocabulary.  This is the
result of weeks and weeks going through it all, and finding literally
hundreds of errors...  Also there are a number of new words, bringing it
up to 2600 EA headwords, which corresponds to nearly 6000 English
glosses.

This is pretty much the version of the vocabulary which will be in the
hard-copy version when it comes...

Since people were saying that we don't present enough of what we have
actually done, I thought I'd put a couple of random vocabulary entries
here as examples.  The words marked with *'s appear in the English index
to the vocabulary, which will come with it.

The first is what's called a suffixed verb - it does the sort of thing
that prepositions do in English, as well as being used for other things.

The other one is a verb.
