<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>I am a new member of this group and would like to ask
for help. I am involved in a project aimed to make a Besermyan-Russian dictionary
(Besermyan is considered to be one of dialects of Udmurt - a Finno-Ugric
language). This dictionary will be based on field research. Until now we’ve
collected over 3000 basic lexemes with some examples, which we have organized
in a database made in Microsoft Access. During our work we were confronted with
certain problems and would like to learn more about these points (perhaps you
could provide some references):</span></font></p>

anyone has experience using MS Access for such goals.</p>

are the basic principles of separating meanings of the word</p>

one should deal with loan words (there are lots of words from Russian more or
less phonetically assimilated (for example, the names of the months – russian
ones are wide-spread and the original ones are remembered only by several aged
speakers)).</p>

there are any works on principles of making alphabets. For example, we have
problems with shwa-sound. There are several variants of this sound, which don’t
seem to be phonological, but which are easily distinguished by the native
speakers. And since Besermyan differs phonetically from Udmurt and therefore
can be seen as having no writing system, one more problem arises – how to
choose lexical entry in case there are several phonetic variants for one
lexeme.</p>
