WeSay is a nice implementation of Moe's method that can be used by<br>
literate native speakers -- it also enables audio recording of<br>
words and example sentences.<br>
<br>
Monolingual defining was a method much favoured by the late Ken<br>
Hale as a way to generate more vocabulary and has been used by<br>
successfully by several people I know.<br>

Hi RNLD list,<br>
<br>
I'm going to be working with speakers to add words to an<br>
existing dictionary of some 2,800 headwords. I'd be interested<br>
to hear of methods for finding new words that are not in the<br>
dictionary that you may have found useful. I know about Rapid<br>
Words collection (<a href="http://www.rapidwords.net/" target="_blank">http://www.rapidwords.net/</a>) and Ron Moe's<br>
Dictionary Development Process.<br>
<br>
I'd also like to generate a list of all possible words given<br>
the phonotactics and phonemic inventory, does anyone know of<br>
any existing systems for doing that?<br>
<br>
I'l summarise responses if you want to write to me off-list.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Nick<br>
