We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then  strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list.   This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

        what is the scholarly term for the list of 50 - 150 buzz-words
[words, terms, phrases that have special meaning within context given]
that enables e.g. humanities student to understand discussion of
specific computer software, or PC geek to understand personal dating
column?  we have always referred to it as a "buzz-word set", but now
wish to put the correct name to it.
        was reminded of this when a U.K. scholar supplied such a list
which instantly made UK-based movies intelligible to me.
        thanks,
                caroline

I have a photocopy of an article by Eduard Hermann, "Gab es im
Indogermanischen Nebensaetze?" ("Did Proto-Indo-European contain
subordinate clauses?"), from the _Zeitschrift fuer vergleichende
Sprachforschung_; unfortunately nothing in the pages I have indicates
the date.  Can anyone advise?  It is labelled "N.F. (Neue Folge?)
XIII.4", but no easily- available reference book tells me what year
that corresponds to.  I believe it was probably a year in or about the
1890s.

I have been asked to find out how "Merry Christmas" is spelled in
Hawaiian ("you study linguistics, and this is an exotic language, so
you'll of course know it, right?!") - it should (perhaps) be something
like "kali kali kamakka", but the one who asked me wasn't sure at all.
 
	- so, if anyone out there happens to know this (and the
precise spelling), I'd be grateful
 
thanks
