The number of separate word lists is presently quite small and managable.
TKD proper, TKD addendum, KGT, and the KLI-maintained miscellany contain
*all* the vocabulary we know. If you want it more convenient than that,
do it yourself. It's a great way to learn the words. Besides, are you
sure you want a "professionally made dictionary" that will -- we hope --
keep getting out of date? I prefer my personal pocket dictionary, which
I can keep current and reprint when I feel like it.
Though I do think a new presentation of the grammar, including the minor
clarifications, nuances, and examples that we've received over the years,
would be a very good thing.
