I'll have to give you a count later, boys-n-girls, 'cause I'm at work. But
I must say my latest desire is for a good Saami grammar. I have only found
one, <<Grammaire Lapon>>, and my French can handle it. I hope. We're hoping
my brain won't burn out and require rewiring [I told my roommates to tell
me if they smell that ozone-y 'burning wires' scent].
Does anyone have another suggestion? And no, "Choose another language" or
"Learn Norwegian/Swedish" isn't helpful!
