I did a check to see how many words in the dictionary are basically ready for print. It takes the computer about 15 or 20 minutes to return the results of such a search so I don't do it very often. Anyway, I've just passed the 10,000-word mark (out of roughly 12,000 words). So I'm about 5/6 of the way there...
This is good news, notwithstanding the fact that as the pool of remaining words dries up it will contain a higher density of ugly fish which I've avoided catching: those problem words which need completely revising, or which require substantial looking up...
Anyway: 2,000 to go.

I have a sabbatical term of research leave and the task in hand is to finish editing and get ready for publication a Wa-Burmese-Chinese-English Dictionary. I'm going to use this blog to chart my progress - and re-enthuse myself when the going gets tough. See http://wadict.soas.ac.uk/ for information about the project. You can consult the draft Wa Dictionary database at http://wadict.soas.ac.uk/wadict/dictdb_guest/wadict_start_search.php.
