Hello,

I'm an undergraduate research assistant for Lenore Grenoble and Jerrold 
Sadock at the University of Chicago working under NSF Grant #1056497 ''The 
lexicon of a polysynthetic language.''

Right now, I'm just going through the previous work on Greenlandic 
lexicography and I've come across many citations for Lennert Olsen and 
Hertling's (1988) ''Grønlandsk Tilhængsliste'' (which I've acquired in .pdf 
formatting). But, Lennert Olsen and Hertling in turn have the following in their 
bibliography, which I'm trying to pursue:

* Carl Christian Olsen & D. Collis: ''Tilhængsliste, med dansk oversættelse.'' 
Institut for Eskimologi. 1971. [230 pages.]

* Sven Kolte & Anne Timmermann: [Tilhængsliste.] Århus: Aarhus 
Universitet. Afdeling for Grønlandsk. 1973. [88 pages]

I think the Kolte & Timmermann also goes by the title ''[Liste over ca. 1230 
grønlandske tilhæng (affixer) med oversættelser]''

I've only been able to find copies in Danish libraries. And even when I just try 
to to Google more information about them, or even just something else that 
cites them, I just get their entries in Google Books just letting me know of 
their existence.

If anyone happened to have procured an electronic copy of either of these 
sources I would greatly appreciate it. Or, even if you're just familiar with them, 
I'd still greatly appreciate you letting me know if they're worth pursuing if I 
already have Lennert Olsen and Hertling's ''Tilhængliste'' (the only work I've 
come across so far that cites them.)

Thank you,

Thomas Heins
