I don't know why I was so nervous, but it had been playing on my mind for a while. I have had a lot of difiiculties over the last year, but things will only get better from now on!<br><br>The Hokkien dictionary will still be going ahead, even though I've only collected one word since last time, and doing quite a bit of work on Thai while I can. It goes in fits and starts at the moment. <br><br>I am finding all sorts of amazing things as i learn, like Kheek for "guest". I can;t work out when it was borroed, from Teochew or early contact in the period I studied. Hok for six s also interesting...but I'll have more time to explain about that later. <br><br>Looking forward to posting more VERY soon.
