<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">Dear colleagues, <br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
</span></font></p>
<font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">I am a retired professor of general and applied linguistics (Univ. of Innsbruck, Austria). Among my main research areas are rhetoric and argumentation and contrastive linguistics (Latin-German, Turkish-German).<br>
<br>
Besides, I am writing a popular booklet about general names for "butterfly" in 200 languages. With this project, I would like to draw the attention of interested lay people to the endangered status of both these charming creatures and many small indigenous
languages.<br>
<br>
Of course, I am not competent as far as the vast majority of these 200 languages is concerned. That is why I ask native speakers and experts for help and to have a controlling look at my data, which I collected from dictionaries, grammars, articles, and available
internet sources.</span></font>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">If you could help me with butterfly words in four Athapascan languages (I have data from Carrier, Slavey, Navajo and Western Apache), I would send you my little texts (a few lines per language). I also have data
from Haida (I am aware of the fact that Haida is considered to be a language isolate by the majority of experts, so Haida is not related to Athapascan languages, but I suppose that some of you might have expert knowledge of Haida, too).<br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt"><br>
</span></font></p>
<p><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">Best regards,</span></font></p>
