Dear Ria,

You have created an exceptional tool! Well done. Such a simple and
clever idea - very well executed.

I have created for the group a slightly amended version that has
changed all the Pali words to Velthuis coding, since in your original
you have Velthuis for some books, VRIRomanPali for another, and
unicode for another. I think it's easier to use if consistent. Also,
it will be universally readable for anyone, no matter what fonts they
have.

This velthuis file has just been uploaded with the following name:
pali english dictionary for learning words (vel).xls

All the best,
John
