Kaw dictionary.

Sorry -- I should have given you this information. Yes, it's the full 
dictionary as published, minus the shiny, pretty cover. I've spotted a 
few errors -- there are sure to be more -- and made corrections since 
publication, and added a lot more examples. I'll put out an errata 
sheet before I leave in July, and I'll replace the current pdf with an 
updated one then, too. Keep in mind that this is a practical 
orthography, so certain aspects of the phonology aren't obvious. Bob 
Rankin and I are beginning work on a grammar that will use a truly 
phonemic writing system -- which, needless to say, won't be completed 
by July, but will get done before to long.

If any of you are working in SIL's Language Explorer and run into 
problems, feel free to write to me at my Kaw Nation address: 
lcumberland at kawnation.com, in case it's something I grappled with. 
There are certainly kinks in the program, but in the end, it served us 
well.

Linda
