I can empathize. Not being a techno-wiz, I am relegated to typing entries
into my lexicon one at a time (I'm not using Shoebox). I've finished the
Géarthnuns-English side, but am only up to mid-D on the English-Géarthnuns
side (well, I cheated and went for some of the easier ones like Q and X as
well). To be sure, the tedium does set in on occasion, but it helps
reinforce vocabulary in the memory, and I'm looking forward to the day when
it will all be done and adding new entries will be a snap. There is also
something strangely addictive about the whole process (oh, well maybe *one*
more page before bed). If I recall correctly, you once said amman iar had
about 20,000 items; thankfully, I decided to embark on this project before
Géarthnuns got to that size.
