<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Catherine Rudin and I are happy to announce
that the Omaha and Ponca Digital Dictionary is now public. You can access
the site at </font>

<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">It is a relatively small lexicon at
this early stage.</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Each entry has just the basic Omaha
word, part of speech, and English definition. The JOD 19th century slip
is viewable for each entry.</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">The site is searchable on the Omaha
word, English word, and part of speech.</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">The number of entries will continue
to grow, as will the amount of information in each entry, as we work through
the database of ~15,000 images.</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Please use the site and alert me to
any oddities or problems.</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">The OPDD work thus far has been supported
by an NEH grant that will expire at the end of August 2011.</font>
<br>
<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">A second 3-year application to the NSF/NEH/SI
Documenting Endangered Languages program to continue the work was
submitted in September 2010. I just received notice that the application
was declined.</font>
