book announcement: The Munda Languages

[G.J. Meulenbeld]

Beste Arlo,

Hartelijk dank voor deze interessante informatie.
Heb je een idee wat de prijs is en welke vorm van bestellen het handigste is 
?
Ik hoop dat het je in alle opzichten goed gaat.
Hier alles rustig en gewoon.
Roelf Barkhuis gaat mijn studie over de Moringa bomen (shigru) binnen 
afzienbare tijd als boekje uitgeven.

Hartelijk gegroet,

Jan
