I wonder if there's a flag on the freelists.org setup that I'm missing
to deal well with quoted printable or whatever it's called (i.e. =20).

Anyway, if you're looking for a Giak to English dictionary, look no
further than my well neglected Oasis and Dusty Shelf's Giak Lexicon:

http://www.lw-oasis.org/oasis-archive/study/lexicon/

It was drawn from both the Magnamund Companion and the expanded word
list. You have Dusty Shelf's blessing to use the compiled list. He may
have made some corrections to the list, I... erm, he doesn't remember
very well.
