---+Word list for Ling 567 Winter 2007

Please use this page to propose a few words for the
MT lexicon (two transitive verbs, two intransitives, 
and two nouns).  Give an English gloss to indicate which
words you're adding.

Note that the English glosses will be used as the basis
of the relation names in everyone's grammar (to partially
finesse the issue of transfer).

When you have included a word in your grammar, indicate
this by adding your language code to the languages covered
column for that word. If that word is strictly unavailable
(e.g., you're working on a dead language and there just isn't
a translation for 'telephone'), enter the language code in N/A.
