OK, it's all done. Both the Companion Postscripts and the Giak Word Lists=
are=20
now part of the Appendix, since there were more words than I originally=20
remembered. Also, there is the note about different Giak dialects, which =
doesn't really fit into a straight list. The extra Giak words I have adde=
d=20
come from Newsletters #7 and 23. Were there any more?
Additionally, I have taken the liberty of adding 'Weapon (n) . . . Ogg' t=
o the=20
list in the actual book, as per Joe's comments in Newsletter #9. This has=
also=20
been noted in the Errata.
*Phew!*

Actually, I often thought the same when I was but a lad. If we add a=20
Giak->English table in the Appendix, it would contain ALL Giak words take=

from across the board, including the stuff on the preceding page to the=20
original Word List with numbers and tenses. It'll be a horrible nightmare=

compile, however. >_<
As for a 'special edition' of TMC, I think that sort of thing would more =
likely work as HTML where there are no page limitations as such, since th=
e=20
illustrations are likely to be placed around the text, even the full-page=

ones. Since I have all the illustrations without the text on them, this i=
s=20
entirely possible (though not be me; I'm not technically-minded enough to=
work=20
on a HTML version, I'm afraid ;-) ).
Is there anything else in the Newsletters that should be added to the MC =
as=20
part of the appendix?
