Neologism Database - Clean Slate

[thiudans]

Hails!

I'm doing a clean slate for the neologisms. Organize your lists and post
them! I think that if everyone who wants their new words included in the
database type up a tabbed list in specified format and post them to the
list, I will simply paste them all into a .doc file and upload it to the
files page in .doc and .pdf format. I am not going to hunt through
paragraphs and complicated posts for new words. Please format
essentially according to Llama Nom's suggestions; have a clean list, 
gothic first, then a TAB, then english, then a carriage return. If there
are multiple english definitions, it might be advisable to do a separate
entry for each one.  Ng / gg is optional; diacritical marks and thorn
are not -- please use them. I will just leave it and everyone who
downloads the list can choose which form to use, and which words to use
at that. The only exception would be if strong arguments were made
against certain words, which then would be stricken or corrected on the
database after on-list discussion. My intent is as list-owner to remove
my editorial interference as much as possible. I use the following
examples (purely examples!):

Ex.:

niuja-waúrd, na.    neologism
niuja-waúrd, na.   new word
&c.

Ex.:

rafs, ma. (B)    amber
rafs, ma. (B)    electricity
raba-mahts, fi.    electric power
raba-mahts, fi.    power (electric -)
&c.

Ex.:

niuja-waúrdjan, 1.    neologize
niuja-waúrdjan, 1.    invent a new word


Also after these personal lists are discussed, it will probably be best
for the sake of  sanity to discuss words in small doses, maybe 2 or 3 at
a time at most. Also, please give your references for the
reconstruction!

awiliudo,
Th.
