Omaha and Ponca Digital Dictionary update

[Mark J Awakuni-Swetland]

Aloha All,

Catherine Rudin and I are happy to announce that the Omaha and Ponca 
Digital Dictionary is now public. You can access the site at 

http://omahaponca.unl.edu

It is a relatively small lexicon at this early stage.

Each entry has just the basic Omaha word, part of speech, and English 
definition. The JOD 19th century slip is viewable for each entry.

The site is searchable on the Omaha word, English word, and part of 
speech.

The number of entries will continue to grow, as will the amount of 
information in each entry, as we work through the database of ~15,000 
images.

Please use the site and alert me to any oddities or problems.

The OPDD work thus far has been supported by an NEH grant that will expire 
at the end of August 2011.

A second 3-year application to the NSF/NEH/SI Documenting Endangered 
Languages program  to continue the work was submitted in September 2010. I 
just received notice that the application was declined.

Regards,
Mark
