No doubt about it. Linguists are taking to the Internet like it was developed specifically for them. Between image capability and hyperlinking, a Gold Age of linguistics is upon us.

Great news.

I had always hoped that some mechanism along the lines of optical scanning-to-text could be devised to read these tablets instead of having scholars painstakingly transcribe each stroke. There would still have to be human intervention, but I'll bet the work would be speeded up in light-year terms.

Thanks for the article.

Also, I don't want to tell you how to do your FReepin', but did you ever think of starting a "Linguistics Ping List"?

Here it is, I think: The Pennsylvania Sumerian Dictionary. It's not immediately apparent to me how to use it, though. At least it doesn't seem to be working correctly for me at the moment. Guess I've gotta rtfm! :-(
