Day 7  Koorete Word Collection  Nov. 18 *photos*
True to Kevin’s prediction, the four word-collection groups reached the goal of recording 10,000 words on paper today, having completed 6 out of 9 domains.  The power was out most of the day so data entry is not keeping up due to low battery life on some of the computers.
See the website http://semdom.org for the domains and subcategories.

During the training, Kevin discovered that their language had a general term and related words for a native tree that resembled a banana tree but produced a vegetable that the people cooked for food.  So it was necessary to add a subcategory for this particular tree.


Above is a banana tree, and below is a false banana plant.
