've added a few more to this file, mainly etymological dictionaries which I've found useful while working onDravean: dunno if you want them in the Yahoogroups Filessection as well?
If you want to put them there feel free to do so. However Henrik's injunctions, namely that the Yahoo interface is cumbersome and that the Yahoo links section is hidden behind a password are valid!
Thanks particularly for the link to the French translation of Meyer-Lubke: saves me poring over the German translation at Uni!
For me it's of course the other way around: I wish I could come by electronic versions of the other volumes in German. The German version isn't a translation, BTW, but the original! (Tho I seem to recall having read that the French version contains many improvements either supplied or cleared by M-L himself. Guess I'll have to tackle the French eventually -- I never get the tenses right!)

Nor undead, hopefully! :-)
I also found a Dictionnaire etymologique du patois
Lyonnais. A must-read for me even if Rhodrese effectively
extinguishes that variety in its timeline! One
feature at least of Lyonnais has been borrowed
into Rhodrese, namely the -a > -@ > -I change,
although Rhodrese orthography remains on the -e stage.
