LAADAN GRAMMAR & DICTIONARY
VOCABULARY UPDATE
June 2003
In the years since A First Dictionary and Grammar of Láadan: Second Edition was published by SF3, many new words have been added to the vocabulary. Because there are no plans for a third edition, they are listed below; that will let those of you who have the book bring it up to date as far as possible. (That is, there may be many more new words that I know nothing about or that I have not been asked to add.) The items on the list are (a) words that have been sent to me to be added, followed by the initials or name of the person who should be credited for them, or (b) words I've constructed because someone requested them, or (c) words that I constructed because I needed them for something I was working on. The key to the initials: SH, Sharla Hardy; AH, Anne Hatzakis; CF, Carole Fontaine; JP, Julia Penelope (or Dr. Penelope and her students working together); TB, Tina Black; DK, De Kanel; EB, Elizabeth Baronowsky; and MLM, M. Lynne Murphy. Items that appear without a credit are mine. Because some of your browsers won't support the characters for the vowels with tone markers over them, words having such vowels are repeated in a separate column with the high-toned vowel written as a capital letter. Any errors below are my responsibility; I apologize for them in advance.
