Dear Jim,

The last word is kaama-dhaatu. It is the last word of fascicle seven,
published in 2001.

It is interesting that you may be related to one of the editors of the
Oxford English Dictionary. I used to have pictures of its editor in chief in
my office. The history of the making of the Oxford English Dictionary tells
a lot about the difficulties lexicographers have to face every minute when
writing a dictionary, especially a dictionary of an ancient language, like
the language of the early Buddhist canon.

I appreciate your offer to help with the proof reading. Unfortunately I have
no idea about how it could be done. Perhaps you have some suggestions?

Best wishes,
Ole

Dear Ole,

What is the last word in the dictionary? I can remember that it was in the
letter "k", Vol. III, fascicle 6.

if you need any extra help with the proofreading, I'd be willing to help
out.

I'm particularly interested in the dictionary entries for grammatical terms
and have started to make a collection of them for further study. There's a
good possibility that I may be related to the famous philologist and
lexicographer, Sir William A. Craigie (1867-1957), one of the editors of the
Oxford English Dictionary. My great-great grandfather, William Craigie
(1830-1895), and Sir William's father, James Craigie, both married in
villages 5 miles apart in Perthshire, Scotland -- a month and a half apart.

Best wishes,
James Craigie Anderson
