Counting words becomes arbitrary, since some entries are just
roots with suffixes (like {ghojmoH} which is only there because
Okrand wanted to make it easier for us to look up "teach"),
proper names Okrand has used, proper names Okrand has never
used, etc. Then there are issues like, do you count multiple
listings of the same word if it has multiple English
definitions? You have somehow collected more than 1,000 words
more than I have, though I suspect my word list is as complete
as yours.
