tla:n vs. titlan

[Frances Karttunen]

Oh my gosh!  Previously it was posted to the list that I had reversed these
things in a dashed-off message to a listero.  I was embarrassed and pointed
out to everyone that the published dictionary is the one to trust.  Now it
turns out that the reversal also appears on p. 43 of the Foundation Course.
Please, please, please trust the dictionary.

In the Foundation course, what has been reversed is the glosses.  Where it
reads "-tlan 'near' and -tla:n 'below'" it should read "-tlan 'below' and
-tla:n 'near.'  The following business about the ligature -ti- being used
with -tlan is correct, but then the glosses are reversed again in the two
examples.

It's bizarre that so many classes have gone through the Foundation Course
without this particular glitch coming to our attention.  Thanks, John, for
finally spotting it!
