Our first 2 months in Kovol are coming to an end, we’re definitely back into it now!
Investigating dialects
Our orthography survey project seems to have run out of steam. We were asking literate Kovol speakers to answer a multiple-choice survey to indicate their preferences for spelling and symbol choices where we have multiple options. Ideally, we'd have 50 or so returns, but the 12 we have will need to make do as the momentum for finding people to fill it out has petered out. Those 12 were mostly group efforts though, so I guess more people were involved!

Thanks for the update. Seeing what you are doing helps make it seem more real. You wonder whether it will all pay off in the end–somehow we have to believe that “love is never wasted.” Things done for the love of God and love of our neighbor have eternal worth. Even if we do not see it now.
