We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

    Dear Linguist-List subscribers,

    We are currently preparing a CD-Rom with Profs. Partee and Borschev's Math for linguists course materials. As part of the project, we are compiling misprints in Partee, ter Meulen and Wall's "Mathematical Methods in Linguistics" (Kluwer) and we would really appreciate if you could send us any (potential) errata you might have spotted to luisalolinguist.umass.edu. Thanks in advance.

    I need to come into contact with someone who has (preferably) first hand knowledge of the Fur language (Nilo-Saharan, but if I understand it right its classification has been/is debated) spoken in the Northern Sudan and also some places in Chad. I have read the grammar by Angelika Jacobi (1990); no other materials on this language are available in Scandinavia, and I need to clarify some issues. Any pointers to people or institutions where I could find someone competent in Fur will be greatly appreciated. Should there be any interest, I will post a summary.

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    My best wishes, Ljuba
