My own taxonomic listing

Sally, I have Teonaht to thank for so much.  Between the recent taxonomy
thread and the influence of Relay 8, merechi is finally getting some
attention.

So, for the first time in 13 years, I have an up-to-date wordlist!  More
niftily, it's tagged for easy text-bashing, and I wrote a script to convert
the alphabetized version to a grouped-by-topic version (I can't really say
it's taxonomic as it has no hierarchy).

Alphabetic: http://mercury.quandary.org/~langs/merechi/merechi.organized
Grouped: http://mercury.quandary.org/~langs/merechi/merechi.classified.html

The only drawback is the 600-some-odd line table, which loads really slowly
on Netscape.  Oh well.  I don't think HTML provides any other way to align
columns!

(Teonaht is eerily reminiscent of my own conlanging in a few ways: the
early religious/magical focus and my embarrassment at some of my pompous
teenage words that I nevertheless can't erase, for two of them.  But my
merechi is a tiny corpus by comparison, less than a thousand words including
bound morphemes, and nearly devoid of conculture.)
