I found a quality Irish Gaelic dictionary! Starting today, I'm doing a letter a day in Gaelic with my LCV. Now I have a taste of what Salmoneus is studying!

https://www.focloir.ie/en/dictionary/ei/a

I've already done the A's!

[Khemehekis]

And today I've finished the H's for Irish Gaelic, with the entry:

to hurt (will the shot ~?)

And with that, the LCV is now up to exactly 300 pages!

[Khemehekis]

Finished doing the R's with help from this Irish dictionary.

Learned today that Irish Gaelic has a different way of saying "to ride" for riding a bicycle and riding a motorcycle (!) And if the riding is racing, it's a different verb altogether.

(Also learned that it has a different word for a roommate who merely lives in the same apartment as you do and a roommate who actually shares a bedroom with you. Some people would call the people who share my group home with me (none of whom lives in my bedroom) my roommates too, but I call them my housemates.)

With that, I'm three-quarters of the way through the dictionary with Irish.

[Khemehekis]

Today I did the U's and the V's with Irish Gaelic. They're small enough sections of the alphabetized LCV that I can do them in one day.

Just two more days of the LCV alphabetical list with the Irish dictionary, and I'll be done with Irish!

[Khemehekis]

Today I finished my foray through the alphabetized LCV with the Irish language. (I did X, Y, and Z today.)

The LCV now stands at 12,419 entries + 1,000 names.

Where and how could one of us (could I) find the Landau Universal or Core Vocabulary?

I'll email it to you via the email you've given me.

BTW "Landau" is your RL surname, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Some people would call the people who share my group home with me (none of whom lives in my bedroom) my roommates too, but I call them my housemates.)

I always thought American English was incredibly weird for calling people "roommates" when they don't live in the same room. Irish is normal.

[Khemehekis]

Can i please get a copy pls?

Sure! Would you like it as a series of PM's to your PM box here? Or would you like it as a single email (in which case, PM me your email address)?
