<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">Jasmin has added several foreign loan words from Greek or Latin to the
<a href="http://rascat.pbworks.com/w/page/109347700/Romanization%20FAQ">Romanization FAQ</a>. She has included Romanization of the loan word with the preposition

<a href="http://rascat.pbworks.com/Foreign%20loan%20words">Foreign loan words</a><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo2">At the top of each of these pages is a link to a form by which you can suggest words that should be added to these lists:
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#444444;background:white">
Are we missing a word? Please let us know </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeeMNMt9XwOctmvigGGK8cDBfBQGbmghEetLPzpxp0u_Rcryw/viewform?usp=sf_link" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#114488;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;background:white">here</span></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#444444;background:white">.</span><o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The plan is to continue to add foreign loan words to both lists. After about 6 months or a year, we will discontinue the separate list of foreign loan words, so that there will be only one list to maintain. The separate list will be useful
for now so that we have a way to find all of the words that will need to be changed in our own institutions’ catalogs. Does anyone have any other suggestions about this plan? Will this work for everyone?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please use the form to make suggestions of additional foreign loan words that should be added to the lists. The completed form will automatically come to Jasmin and myself.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you, Jasmin, for all the work that you have done!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p>
