LibriVox Forum

Thank you, Ann! If I understand correctly, that means I can update the status of sections via the Management Tool. I haven't used the system before. If it's ok with you and Bedwere, I'll let the two of you take care of the MW on this project.

FYI, my forum name has changed thanks to some magic dust from the Admin Team. Could someone update the MW?

Thanks!
Michael, aka Kazbek

Great! Welcome to Librivox!

What name do you want in the catalogue?

Thanks! "Michael Subotin", please. Update: on second thought, I'd like it to be the same as my (new) forum name, Kazbek.

I'd like to read section 20, please.

I promise to do my 1-minute test before recording.

Could you give me details of the dictionary of profanities, please? I think it would make a nice gift for a friend of mine, who took courses in Russian some years ago. I had two of them on my shelves some years ago. The one I have at the moment, ISBN 5710602833, is a dictionary followed by an antho...

I use online resources for nearly all my word lookup needs these days, but I do keep quite a few physical dictionaries around, some for sentimental reasons, some because I think I just might need them one day, and some on purely whimsical grounds. Some items of note: A large English-Russian dictiona...

Section 5 is spot PL OK and Merry Christmas!

Almost there... this one was missed:

Section 5 PL notes: (5:00) 3.7 written: Χρυσάντας; heard: Χρύσαντες (5:04) 3.7 written: ἀνέστη; heard: ἀνέστης (6:13) 3.8 written: ὁρῶ; heard: ὁρῷ (6:51) 3.9 written: μαθόντα; heard: μἀθοντα (8:09) 3.10 written: κωλυόμενος; heard: κῳλυόμενος (11:43) 3.15 written: εἰλημμένοι; heard: εἰλημμένο (14:05)...

There's also the question of using special characters in the Latin alphabet version. It's unlikely that users would use those special characters while searching. I don't know how special characters are handled by the Librivox search engine. If it will retrieve an entry cataloged as "al-Shāfiʿī&...

Sorry for jumping in. Cataloguing Arabic names is a bit tricky, particularly those from earlier times, so it calls for some care. This Wikipedia page gives a summary of their principle parts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_name In the name Abū ʿAbdillāh Muhammad ibn Idrīs al-Shāfiʿī: * Abū ʿAb...

Welcome (again) to the team! It would be fantastic to have more Arabic titles in our catalog. I'm not a native speaker of Arabic, but I love reading and listening to Arabic books, especially the classics. I often wish more of them were available in audio. If you ever have trouble finding a DPL for y...

No problem. Section 9 is spot PL OK!

Section 11 is spot PL OK!

Section 11 PL notes: (2:38) 4.5 written: πολεμίοις; heard: πολέμιοις (6:43) 4.15 written: τοξόται; heard: τοξόταις (6:57) 4.15 written: ἀπεχώρει; heard: ἀποχώρει (9:17) 4.20 written: ὅταν; heard: ὁτάν (10:02) 4.21 written: ἐπέστησαν; heard: ἀπέστησαν (12:34) 4.26 written: ὄχλῳ; heard: ὅκλῳ (14:53) 4...
