    Dear Michael Everson:

    Michael, I have NO "master plan" for 2004 where this
    work on Aramaic unification (or near-unification) will
    be completed in a particular month, quarter, or even
    season.

    I will be working on it along with font corrections,
    lots more Qumran stuff, working with others to do
    proposals, etc etc etc.

    I'm also obsessive-compulsive, and I would *never*
    produce even a good draft without running it past
    epigraphers and information retrieval people. And
    right now I don't know even one epigrapher who could
    work on it.

    > necessary. We have received Peter Kirk's request for
    > review. I moved Aramaic to the SMP.

    Slow progress can be good. --Elaine
