Errors in Review

Dear Colleagues,

    Upon returning home from my summer travels last Thursday, I was
appalled to learn that my review of J. Nuorluoto's "Die Bezeichnung der
konsonantischen Palatalita"t im Altkirchenslavischen" had been published in
the fall issue of SEEJ without my having been provided with proofs of the
full text.  The typesetters had sent me the first page of someone else's
review instead of the first page of mine, and had omitted all Glagolitic
characters from the portion of the proofs which I did receive.  Though I
replied that I must see complete proofs before the review is published, I did
not receive them.  As a result, there are two spelling errors (not mine, I
assure you!) already in the title.  More importantly, though, there are three
errors in the Glagolitic characters which distort Nuorluoto's proposals
concerning expression of the vowels "i" "y" "u" beyond recognition.  I must
therefore warn readers that they should form no opinions based on this
portion of the text, and preferably should not read the review, until an
errata sheet can be prepared and published in a subsequent issue of SEEJ.

                            Sincerely,

                            Andrew Corin
