The headwords being things like "Sasunnach" and "uisge", that's Gaelic, not Scots. See "http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=gla"; "http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=sco";. (Oh... now I notice that I garbled the ISO 639 table last time; inevitable, I suppose. Well, here's a definitive edition: "http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn_ascii.html";. The appropriate three-letter code is -gla-.) It seems unlikely anybody would bother packaging a wordlist (even one this size) for "-sco-", since for a start it doesn't have a generally-agreed spelling system. And the fewer things labelled "SCO" I have on my system the better. -- JBR Ankh kak! (Ancient Egyptian blessing) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
