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
