Copyright © 1997, 1998
It started out with Steve Bonneville playing around with Trokh words and a partial list of words. Well, I have added the rest of the words from the S&A Glossary, as well as other words from S&A and other official publications. Thus, an unofficial "Aslan Dictionary."
(NOTE TO M&M: I was unsure as to whether I should send this to everybody. Please feel free to forward it, if you feel it's appropriate, or let me know and I will.)
Comments are welcome.
