We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hi! 

   I'm working on Uighur phonology and am trying to find a good source for
minimal pairs in Uighur.  Any ideas?  Also, would love to talk with people
about the Uighur language in general. Feel free to e-mail me at
jenmseale at hotmail.com.

Dear Linguists,

In 1997 Rob MacLaury, Judit Almási and Zoltán Kövecses published a paper in
Semiotica on the relationship between the Hungarian words for ''red'':
piros and vöros. One of the Hungarian expressions they list is ''piros mint
as alma'', which is glossed as 'red as an apple'. It is said to refer to a
person's health, but - not being a speaker of Hungarian - I don't know in
what sense. Could someone update me?

Thanks,
