Ahah! Thanks! I think I might have gone mad trying to compile that list. My
only correction to your list (aside from adding numbers 11-19 and 21, and
incorporating Rannad and Rogag into the alphabetised list) is that Ogg means
Weapon, not Axe (as per Lone Wolf Club Newsletter #9, Monastery Mailbag). So I
altered that. Aside from that, THNAK YOU for helping me to keep my sanity.

Well, be sure to pass our thanks on to "him" ;-)

The new ZIP archive of TMC is up at www.projectaon.org/~simon/TMC.zip

WARNING: ZIP archive is now 13.2Mb; unpacks to 13.5Mb.

Changes:

Added Blank Page after Title Page for double-sided printing
Added Companion Postscript pages from newsletters as part of Appendix
Added Extended Giak Word Lists from newsletters
Added the Lone Wolf Oasis Giak->English word list
Fixed annoying ., typo
Fixed missing hyphens in two Giak number words (Errata)

BTW--has anyone managed to find the text for the Contact Letter for the
artists we might be able to get in touch with? I did a search through my
E-mail archive and I couldn't actually find it. :-\
