<DIV>Dear Prof. Tommaso Pellin,</DIV>
<DIV> Thanks for your interesting message. What do you precisely mean by 'measure words'? Do you mean such words as 'kilo', 'meter', and so on? If so, I can help you with some such words from Mazandarani, a less-studied Iranian language. Will it help you? And, do you think the size of such words will be enough for devoting a dictionary to them?</DIV>
<DIV> Write me soon.</DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV>Dr. Muhammad-Reza Fakhr-Rohani</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Dear lexicographers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>is there anyone who has some experience in Chinese measure words or in measure words in any other kind of language? Could you give me some advice about preparing a dictionary of measure words? Could you suggest some good dictionary to take as an example (I am going to write a Chinese-Italian dictionary of measure words)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thank you</FONT></DIV>
