Note to Moderator:

I'll notify ~~~~Linguist (PV2) of these proposed changes. Please check that I've used the pipe correctly to re-order the first two 'Contents' items (the rest to follow as original list order). Also, I'm not sure I've done the right thing by changing 'Submicroscopic' and 'Awlo of Ulm' from their default 1975 (this pub date) to their original publication dates. I don't know if the date fields were originally left to default on purpose or just by omission/oversight. Could you hold this submission pending a response from ~~~~Linguist I will add my PV to this record.
