Subject: Amarna, and other things

I am in the process of writing an article about the Proto-Semitic
subjunctive. I know that lots of people on this newsgroup are in-
volved in either linguistics or Semitic languages. If anyone out
there feels particularly competent in Amarna Akkadian, could he or
she perhaps drop me a line? This is a co-authorship proposal. I
have handled the Hebrew, Geez, Berber, Akkadian, and other relevant
evidence. The Amarna section is still a bit lacking, though, and
I would appreciate input from someone who has made this a more cen-
tral point of study.

Subject: E-texts for Oxford

I've been talking with Oxford Electronic Publishing (branch of OUP)
about the possibility of scanning and editing texts here for
publication in the electronic English texts series they are planning.
I've made my own estimate of the time involved in producing an
average text for my period, but am curious as to what others with
more experience of this work have found. I believe Oxford is also
talking with other scholars about this work, and I would like to
know if some kind of standard rate is emerging. Any comments
direct to me -- dmiall@ualtavm -- would be very welcome. I'll
report back to Humanist if I receive enough information.
