OP dhaN-Gender Nouns

[Koontz John E]

Rory:

That was a great list of body parts!  I'm grateful to you and the speakers
you worked with.  That list represents a lot of work!  I'm sorry to hear
of the death in the family of the two women.

I'm appending here the list of dhaN-nouns in the first 200 pages of
Dorsey.  It is more or less in agreement with the contemporary results,
with perhaps a few more dhaN forms at the expense of khe forms.  The logic
for dhaN vs. khe is not always clear to me.

Particular points of interest:

- I ran across 'right ear' and it took =dhaN, so perhaps =the is a set
form.  Nevertheless, there are any cases of non-set or singular forms with
sets, though perhaps not "all of" sets.

- The word for one of the lower aperatures occurs with dhaN.

- A number of forms appear here that have appeared in the earlier lists,
including parts and containers that I thought might be =the and =khe class
categories!
