Now that wasn't too bad with my 56k modem, and is approx 3,500 of the 7,000 words I've compiled to date.
More detailed Biblio stuff to follow, but this is basically an amalgam of three Scots word databases - The Burns Glossary, A more recent on-line dictionary, Tanahill Weavers Glossary. The three different types of source can be identified if future scholars would like to investigate further, but I'll add that guff later.
Likewise the presence and number of commas can be used to give an indication as to whether words which follow the main alphabetic entries are Scots synonyms or English meanings - the average folkie won't care I suspect.
In the meantime Joe and I would be keen to hear whether the Glossary downloaded quickly enough for you to be able to look something up with reasonable speed.
