There are odd errata that pop up; e.g. A-Z 1169 of the Dictionary portion has ton makaron nesoi ( in Greek ) quoted in entry "fortunate" and the following "foul". Since the phrase means [the] Islands of the Blessed, the second occurrence is decidedly odd.The quotes from other scripts and languages, which are not merely anglicized, seem to be pictures of script in an entirely different format, and will not "copy" with the rest on an entry. There may be other glitches in this edition.I do not see a section of Errata, or Errors. Since the one I noticed was in Greek script, other such occurrences may well have evaded the eye of proof readers.
Otherwise, a great etymological lexicon.
