<DIV><FONT color=#800080 size=5>Congratulations! The O/P Dictionary site
really looks nice, as I went over there and looked around. I noted that
several O/P letters were not hi-lighted, and several new characters were there,
like a "kh" followed by a hyper font "h". Does that represent a new
glottal stop font, or does it mean something else?</FONT></DIV>

size=2 face=sans-serif>It is a relatively small lexicon at this early
stage.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>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 size=2
face=sans-serif>The site is searchable on the Omaha word, English word, and
part of speech.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>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
size=2 face=sans-serif>Please use the site and alert me to any oddities or
problems.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>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 size=2 face=sans-serif>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> <BR><BR><FONT size=2
