Very impressive list. I've responded with my own list, which
also includes words from other sources.

I somehow had missed that one. Obviously {quelI'qam} is in
error and {qelI'qam} is the correct spelling.
I made my list by entering all the words from the K-E section
into my word processor and as each word was entered, I copied
it into my own E-K section. I then proofread TKD's E-K section
against mine. I did that for both the original word list and
the addendum and have added words to it from other Okrand
sanctioned sources ever since.

I checked to make sure that my dictionary contained all of your
words, though I did not check to make sure that the exception
list I just pulled from my dictionary matched yours. It was
just too much work for right now.
When you note these kinds of inconsistencies and add new words,
I advise that you also notate information about the word's
SOURCE, so that later on, you can know more about how valid the
word might be. A list of accumulated words with no source
notations can easily get corrupted, since then you can't go
back and check your sources.

It has fewer problems, but then, it is a smaller list.
