Recommendations:
For look-up I
recommend you to use
the PDF printouts of
the lexicon. Use the Search/Find
option (Ctrl+F) – or
possibly Advanced Search/Find (Shift+Ctrl+F) – to look for
whole or partial gloss words.
For
maintenance work (such
as gloss translations) we still need to use the spreadsheet files.
But I recommend you to use
the spreadsheets without the symbol graphics for
editing – together
with a PDF file for
look-up and viewing of the Bliss-words/Blissymbols. This is because
the spreadsheets with symbol graphics are so heavy for the
applications to handle reliably. (The newer versions of Microsoft
Excel is far poorer at this than earlier versions.) With the
text-only spreadsheets you can use the free LibreOffice/OpenOffice
Calc just as well.

Another
small update – 2018-04-19: Omission of 3 gloss-word updates in
the two main spreadsheets have been corrected in accordance with the
WinBliss file and image library exports, i.e.,
need,require-(to)
15702, rub,scrub-(to)
16695, and
break,fracture,damage
24852
Note
that derived partial spreadsheets and no PDF printouts have yet been
corrected. This will be followed-up ASAP.
The
slight update - 2018-04-01 – rectifies 15 missed gloss updates
in the file names of the export libraries, and 2x2 mixed up BCI-AV
numbers in the previous full WinBliss file (it was all correct in the
Excel and PDF documents). The correct ones are:
26131
bouquet_(flowers), 26151 cookbook,cookery_book, 13864
dolphin,porpoise,water_mammal_(with_tail), 26169
fear_of_heights,acrophobia, 14635 grape(s), 26190
lifetime,life-time,lifespan, 26192
longsightedness,farsightedness,presbyopia,hyperopia, 26193
longsighted,farsighted,presbyopic,hyperopic, 26209

pinch,pluck,tweeze-(to), 26221
plant-book,dictionary_of_plants, 23627 quill(s),spine(s),
26254 umami, 26255 umami_tasting
The previous 2017-10-21 - 2017-12-03 changes/updates amendment added missed updates of 5 gloss words and file names in the graphic file library exports and the correct inclusion of these in the update documentation below.
The major update of 2017-10-21 - 2017-12-03. In summary it includes:
148 changes in the previous lexicon. 10 of these are removed indicator Bliss-characters, 12 are modified Bliss-characters and 22 are changed multi-character Bliss-words. The other 104 are English gloss words updates-additions
247
additional Bliss-words and characters:
- From the Uppsala Panel
2015 come; 6 new characters and 143 other Bliss-words
- From
the Toronto Panel2016 come; 1 new character and 59 other
Bliss-words
- Other additions bring 29 identified characters
(in use since before) and 9 new Bliss-words
165 Bliss-word and character derivations have been updated
And
now for the first time also a separate Bliss-character documentation
found at:
BCI-AV_2017-11-17_(en+de+es)+deriv_Bliss-chars.zip

-------------------------------------------------------
2016-03-06:
This is a release with added complete gloss language
translations for German and Afrikaans, and a complementary update of
the Latvian translation. Thanks to Karin Sintring and Stefanie Sachse
for the help with the German translation, to Corneli Strydom who
started, Louisa Alberts and Kristin Van der Merwe who continued and
Ensa Johnson who finalised the Afrikaans translation, and to Erlends
Paics who updated and completed the Latvian translation!
The
relevant Excel sheets and PDF printouts have been added and
updated.
-------------------------------------------------------
2015-11-07:
This is a release with updated gloss language translations for
Russian (complete) and Latvian (still lacking translations of latest
additions 2014-12-05). Thanks to Jekaterina Tumasevica och Laila
Ozolina for the Latvian translation, and to Jekaterina Tumasevica and
Natalia Belyaevskaya for the Russian, and to Inger Lilja and her
friends at Star of Hope for funding support of it
all!
-------------------------------------------------------
2015-08-28:
There are no additions to the Blissymbol vocabulary in this
update. Instead this is a major step for the documentation of the
lexicon, plus updates of gloss translations and two updated file
export libraries.
At
last, we have a set of draft, but complete, lexicon listings with
derivations, i.e., the definitions and explanations for each
Bliss-character/Bliss-word.
A “BCI-AV
Notes” document provides a preliminary summary of findings
made during the work with the lexicon derivations.
An added draft but rather complete Latvian gloss translation (thanks to Jekaterīna Tumaševiča, Inger Lilja and Margareta Jennische), and additions to the other ones.
A belated addition of a complete new SVG file library export (made from the WMF vector graphic files for cleaner SVG - thanks to Peter Ljunglöf), and one library with fixed width PNG files (100x78) for display fixed sized grids.
----------------------------------------------------------
2014-12-05:
This
is a major update of the vocabulary, from the previous 5046 to 5588
Bliss characters and words. In brief, the following changes and
amendments have been made:
The following 7 old forms have been removed as they have not been used since long, and are likely to cause confusion, and thus the old missing character for “crown” is not needed: Sweden_(OLD) 17476, castle,palace_(OLD) 13130, king_(OLD) 15150, queen_(OLD) 16444, prince_(OLD) 16248, princess_(OLD) 16249, and royal_(OLD) 16694
The 52 standard alphabet letters a-z and A-Z, as well as 10 small index numbers have been added (BCI-AV numbers 8510 – 8576).
117
Bliss-characters have been added – most of which have since
long been used in existing Bliss-words but have not been represented
by themselves (BCI-AV
numbers 25520 - 25636).
Included here are also new versions of 4 characters used since long
– now named as: away,at_a_distance,off_(OLD)
12602,
limit(s),limitation_(OLD)
15213,
farness,remoteness,farawayness_(OLD)
24896
and fatness,thickness_(OLD)
2556.
All these contain a full empty horizontal empty space which can look
very confusing in a Bliss text. The new versions are:
away,at_a_distance,off
25522,
limit(s),limitation,restriction
25579,
farness,remoteness,farawayness
25559,
and fatness,thickness
25560.
In the new versions three dots at the earth-line have been added to
hold the character together, e.g.:
limit(s),limitation_(OLD)
15213
versus
limit(s),limitation,restriction
25579
. Details are documented in the file:
BCI-AV_added_characters_table_2014.pdf
and
BCI-AV_missing_characters_with_comments_2014-04-19_10-24.pdf.
183 new Bliss-words from the latest Zandhoven Panel meeting 2013 (BCI-AV numbers 25650 – 25832). Details are documented in the file: Zandhoven-Antwerp_October-2013_2014-11-28.pdf
133 new Bliss-words from the so called “Norwegian requests” list, handled in parallel with the Zandhoven amendments (BCI-AV numbers 25840 – 25972). Details are documented in the file: Norwegian_amendments_2013-2014_en+sv-final.pdf
55 other added Bliss-words, most of them following from the mentioned amendments and character updates (BCI-AV numbers 25980 – 26033)
A large number of symbol drawing corrections and gloss updates – details of this and the previous bullet are documented in the file: BCI-AV_additional_amendments_2014.pdf
The new Russian translation – almost complete until Zandhoven (Thanks to Jekaterīna Tumaševiča!)
A Finnish translation update – complete until previous release (Thanks to Seppo Virta, Annette Nylander et al!)
Yet another update of the Norwegian translation - complete until previous release (Thanks to Torhild Kausrud and Laila Johansen!)
Temporary draft and partial translations (derived from semi-automatic data mapping form other translations by Sandra Derbring and Mats L) under development added for German, Portuguese, Italian and Danish.
2014-03-09:
This
is a maintenance update with the following significant
gloss translation amendments:
Completed and updated Spanish translation – thanks to Agustin Cabral, Margareta Jennische and for the earlier update made by SPSM/BlissOnline!
Also NOTE: Already since the previous update we now have a fairly complete and thoroughly checked French translation (just lacking the latest added around 460 Bliss-words) – thanks to Marianne Malherbe/Bliss Belgique and Mélanie Maradan!
We
also have want to point out the even more complete and well checked
Dutch translation (just lacking the latest around 100
additions). Thanks to Annemie Van Roy and friends in
Belgium!
Completed and updated Norwegian translation –
thanks to Torhild Kausrud and Laila Johansen!
Completed and
updated Swedish translation – thanks to BDS for help!
… and the following updates of the core BCI-AV resource:

The
following English gloss updates have been made:
lawn_bowling,bowls
22835 → lawn_bowling,bowls_(sport)
22835
synchronized_diving 22054 →
synchronized_diving,synchro_diving_(sport) 22054
diving
22055 → diving_(sport) 22055
synchronized_swimming
22056 → synchronized_swimming_(sport) 22056
(Pending
updates of many sports to contain “sport”, either as part
of the gloss word or as a “_(sport)” comment, for easily
identifying all sports Bliss-words – recommended for all
translations.)
The part-of-speech colour code in WinBliss
has been corrected from “yellow” to “green”
for long_time 24181 as it is a description Bliss-word, and
from “red” to “yellow”for salmon 23195
as it is a noun (and not a verb).
2013-12-27:
This
is a maintenance update with the following changes:
Thanks
to Kathleen Patton another duplication of a Bliss-word has been
discovered and corrected:
wet,damp,moist
18226
and watery
22348
were identical.
watery
22348
has been removed and the gloss for 'watery' has been amended
to
wet,damp,moist
18226
→ wet,damp,moist,watery
18226
(This has also been updated in all translations in the excel sheets)
We've
discovered an incorrectly drawn character in Shevat
16971
and Tu_Bishvat
17788
(the star in birth). This has been corrected in the WinBliss source
file and in all the export librries and the updated spreadsheet
documentation.
In
connection to this the gloss was also updated for Shevat 16971 →
Shevat,Shvat
16971
The following additional gloss updates have been made:
active 12336 → active,actively 12336
evegreen_tree 14116 → evegreen_tree,spruce,fir,fir_tree 14116
alphabet,letters_(1) 12366 → alphabet,letters_(lowercase) 12366
alphabet,letters_(2) 25011 → alphabet,letters_(uppercase) 25011
boss,supervisor_(2) 12878 → boss,supervisor_(OLD) 12878
boss,supervisor_(1) 24849 → boss,supervisor 24849
central_nervous_system 21585 → central_nervous_system,CNS 21585
A number of updates of the the Swedish and Norwegian gloss translations have also been made. These and the above changes are indicated by background colour highlighting in the documentation spreadsheets.
2013-03-30
– 04-03 – 04-09:
…
and one single amendment update of the gloss for fruit_juice 14406 →
fruit_juice,juice
14406 in all relevant resources, plus the addition of a PDF printout
of the English-Dutch-Swedish
spreadsheet.
… and in addition to below, a correction of a missing update in the main WinBliss file (of host 21367 → Host,wafer_(in_religious_ceremony) 21367). Thanks to Seppo Virta for noticing!
This update brings the amendments of 80 new Bliss-words and a number of gloss updates for older ones decided at the Pittsburgh panel meeting 2012. In connection to this 8 more related Bliss-words have been added. The collected vocabulary now adds up to 5047 Bliss-words. See the added Pittsburgh and updated full vocabulary files above, and the following notes for further details.
One symbol drawing error has been corrected in lose_(fail_to_win)-(to) 23897 (too short line in the minus character – thanks to Sophia Kalman!)
The
following 8
new Bliss-words
have
been added (Thanks for suggestions from Seppo
Virta!):
destroyed,ruined,demolished,deleted,erased,cancelled
24968
artillery
25418

The
following
gloss
changes
of
previously existing Blissymbols have been made to improve lexical
look-up in software implementations, and/or as a consequence of new
Bliss-words or gloss amendments since Pittsburgh:
bowel,intestine
12883 → bowel,intestine_(OLD)
12883
evening_of_Sabbath,Sabbath_eve
14113 → evening_before_holiday,evening_of_Sabbath
14113
police_force
14146 → police_force,police

let_us
15197 → let_us,let’s

14400,
Saturday 16722 → Saturday_(OLD)
16722,
Sunday
17464
→ Sunday_(OLD)

Note:
The above change in the gloss of the previous Bliss-words for
weekdays is
an
effect of the new weekday Bliss-words added in Pittsburgh, allowing
three alternative naming schemes according to local culture, but all
related (via a second number index) to the common ISO
8601
weekday
numbering convention with Monday as day 1 of the
week.

12579, which is changed to military,armed_forces,armed_services
12579 (see below).

… and the

electrical_inslulator
25291 → electric_insulator,electrical_insulator
25291
frequency
25310 → frequency_(wave_motion)
25310
---Note:
also
symbol update, changed order of characters!

25326

… and three
other
minor gloss updates:

chiropodist 21596 →
podiatrist,chiropodist
21596
(as chiropodist is less widely used today)
Rationale for the
above mentioned change of army
12579
→
military,armed_forces,armed_services
12579:
There
was a lack of the basic concept for military,armed_forces
,
and an inconsistency in building navy 15696 and airforce,air_force
25250
on the concept of “army”. So the general bliss-word for
military has been re-assigned
to
mean just that – military,armed_forces,armed_services
– and
the new bliss-word (military + ground) has been added to cover the
concept of army,regular_army,ground_forces
in
harmony with navy and airforce.

– 2012-12-10 – 2012-12-20:
Thanks
to Annemie Van Roy and friends in Belgium, we now have updated and
checked Dutch gloss for the first and major part of the vocabulary
(until Furuboda 2002). Just a few question marks remain in that part,
and then the completion of the remaining newer vocabulary. In
connection to this new entry, a few (8) incorrectly sized symbol
images have been spotted and corrected in the spreadsheet files
containing symbols. (This is essential if you try to re-sort these
files, as the eight symbol files then disappeared.)
The
spreadsheet (and PDF) documentation files also contain some
additional Norwegian and Swedish gloss updates.
Thanks
to Clare Fenwick at Sensory Software an incorrect link to an older
WMF file library has been discovered and updated. The current link
(bliss_h344_transp_wmf.zip)
is
now linking to the correct library of 2012-09-22. Note that the
default size/height of the WMF files is now 344 (before 306).
In
connection to this Clare has also pointed us to another inconsistency
between the documentation and the symbol resources – both
WinBliss source files and the exported file libraries – for the
Bliss-word BCI-AV # 13427; named “couple_(cohabiting)”
in
the symbol resources, but listed as family,couple
in
the spreadsheet documentation files. This was a decided gloss update
(for consistency with other family Bliss-words) since early 2012 that
was never transferred into the actual symbol gloss – until
now.
Additionally, a mistake in the gloss of BCI-AV # 15943 has
been corrected (an extra “exit” removed,
i.e.:
out_of,exit_(forward),exit 15943 →
out_of,exit_(forward)
15943
2012-09-22/23/25:
An
extra amendment: The excel spreadsheet with symbols (just above this
section) has finally been updated to the current version. Many thanks
to Mélanie Maradan. Note that this version, unlike the
previous two, can be re-sorted with the symbols aligning correctly in
the new sorting order. This is due to an adjustment in the row
height. Thanks to Sophia Kalman for giving us the tip!! … …
and two additional files (above) based on this one, added
September 25.
The documentation for the Stockholm amendments
2009 has also been updated – thanks to Ingrid MM!
This is an update
removing found incorrect Space characters and some other format
errors in the gloss/file names. One gloss amendment has been made for
clarification. All changes effect the complete WinBliss file and the
complete file libraries. All but one are related to the Oslo files. A
few also effect the two main Excel vocabulary files. The affected
entries are:

Since
the previous partial update the following problems have been
discovered and corrected (Thanks to Seppo Virta!):

been made:
fiancé 25296 → fiance,groom-to-be
25296
fiancée 25297 → fiancee,bride-to-be
25297 (both to ensure safe file names, and as a complement)
A
spelling error of electrical_insulator 25291 (in the
spreadsheets) has been found and corrected.
A
number of spelling errors in the Swedish gloss and two pairs of mixed
up gloss for Swedish and Norwegian have been found – thanks to
Kerstin Kanebrant in her work with the Bliss resources for Widgit
software. They are as follows. Mixed up gloss in Swedish and
Norwegian for:
22309 smaktillsats (pulverform) →
smaktillsats (flytande) - (smakstilsetning (flytende)

and 25038 brottslighet.
The Swedish gloss for 23425 buddhist has been changed from ”buddhistisk, buddhist” to ”buddhistisk”
Two
corrections of the Polish translation to avoid the irregular arrow
character and in accordance to the gloss in the other
languages:

17771 → transwestyta
(mężczyzna)
17771
transwestyta
(kobieta → mężczyzna) 17770 → transwestyta
(kobieta)
17770
The two main vocabulary spreadsheet documents, the WinBliss files, and all file export libraries should now be updated.
2012-07-21:
The
Oslo vocabulary amendments are now added – so far as a
separate WinBliss file, and included in the complete BCI-AV file. Two
separate documentation graphic file library exports for the Oslo
vocabulary are available (above). The two main spreadsheet files have
also been updated with the Oslo
amendments.
(BCI-AV_2012-07-12_(en+sv+no+dk+fi+es+fr+nl+de+po+ru).zip and
BCI-AV_2012-07-12_(en+sv+no+dk+fi+es+fr+nl+de+po+ru).zip - in
the above section)

12858 were incorrectly drawn and have been changed as follows:
→
and
→
So far only the two complete documentation file library
exports have been updated (please see the dates in red). Updates of
the other complete file library exports will follow asap, but
possibly not until after the next BCI Panel meeting and ISAAC in
Pittsburgh, i.e. beginning of August.

Thanks
to Seppo Virta we have been alerted about another two symbol
duplications coming with the recent Stockholm amendment. This has
resulted in the following changes:
The two new Bliss-words
technician 25188 and hijack 25080 have been removed
from the Stockholm and complete BCI-AV resources.
As technician
25188 was identical with mechanic 23587, the gloss for the
latter has been updated – see below. As hijack 25080 was
identical with coup 25034, the gloss for the latter has been
updated, along with the following other gloss updates:
mechanic
23587 → mechanic,technician 23587
coup 25034
→ coup,hijack,takeover 25034
hijack-(to)
25081 → hijack,make_a_coup-(to) 25081
hijacker
25082 → hijacker,coup_maker 25082
2012-04-23:
Since
yesterday an embarrassing error has been found and corrected in the
spreadsheet files above: The English gloss for box,cube 12886
and boxing_(activity) 12887 had been mixed up. The error
appeared early this year and does not seem to have been propagating
further. Please replace your BCI-AV spreadsheet files immediately if
you've already downloaded the earlier version.
Another additional note: The previous WMF file exports have been proportionally distorted. This latest one should be correct. However, be aware that when exporting files from WinBliss in WMF format, the outcome is depending on the current screen resolution settings of the computer. The modern wide-screen formats and settings of displays seem to result in distorted proportions. This may be handled by temporarily changing the screen resolution settings to an older one (this export in 1152x864). If you are a WinBliss user, please be aware of this, if you need to export blissymbols in the WMF file format.
2012-04-21:
This
is a major update with number of corrections, including removal of
some more found duplicates, a few symbol drawing corrections, some
gloss changes etc. Thanks to Ingrid and Lovisa and others!
The
main thing is that the Stockholm panel vocabulary of 218 new Bliss
words has now been added (provided separately and included in the
main WinBliss files, file exports and spreadsheet documentation). A
few other bliss-words, based on existing ones, have also been added.
A small number of additional duplicate symbols have been found and
removed, and some gloss have been renamed. The total authorized
vocabulary is now adding up to 4796.
Finally we have
substantially revised and updated Swedish and Norwegian gloss
translations in the vocabulary spreadsheets, thanks to our Swedish
and Norwegian panel members.
The changes and corrections can be summarized as follows:
Removed duplicate
Bliss-words:
involvement 24174 has been removed. It was a
duplication of participation,involvement 23919
harmonious
24907 has been removed. It was a duplicate of agreed,in_agreement
24808
agreed,in_agreement 24808 → agreed,in_agreement,
harmonious 24808
Added
Bliss-characters/Bliss-words:
aport 24963
(descriptive form of port_(boat) 24712)
astarboard
24964 (descriptive form of
starboard 24760)
Symbol
corrections:
participation,involvement 23919 –

2011-07-25:
A
minor update to include two Blissymbol characters that have existed
since many years in the BCI Fundamental Rules document (pages 15-16 –
www.blissymbolics.org/pfw/images/bliss-rules.pdf
),
but which have not until now been included in the BCI-AV lexicon
resources. Thanks to Shirley McNaughton for spotting this! They have
now been added to relevant resources above as:
“slang”
(BCI-AV # 24961) and “coarse slang”
(BCI-AV # 24962)
2011-07-02:
The
major updates this time are all concerning the spreadsheets (Excel
file format) found just above this section:
The first is an important correction of a fault in the BCI-AV numbering for the language columns from the first Russian and up to the Finnish one. There have been errors in the numbering in the range from 15714 – 15920. They seem to have been introduced last summer when Polish, Spanish and Finnish translations were added to the spreadsheets. Also, in all the three spreadsheet files above, the format of the Russian gloss has been updated in accordance with the other translations, and one missing Swedish translation has been added.
We have a
great new addition of a spreadsheet (Excel file format – in
two versions) with all the symbol graphics (with a positional
background grid included) included in the first column –
many thanks to Mélanie Maradan for fixing the script for this
import (and for finding the numbering error in connection to this
work)!! This will hopefully greatly help the maintenance and
translation work from now on.
These Excel files are large (the
zip compressed download file is close to 15 MB, alternatively 7 MB).
The largest one can be opened in both Excel and Open/LibreOffice
Calc, BUT it is for some reason very much more heavy to handle in
Calc. The smaller file can practically only be opened in Excel. So
the recommendation is to use Excel if you have access to it.
A
tip: As there are now many columns in the spreadsheet for
different languages, it is a good idea to hide the ones that you are
not interested in: Select the whole columns that you are not
interested in – right click in one of them and select “Hide”.
This will hopefully make your use of the spreadsheet much more
manageable.
2011-06-30:
Two
new file export libraries have been added – last in the list
under “WinBliss file library exports of joined list ...”
above, under the link names:
“bliss_h188_documentation_png.zip”
and “bliss_h96_documentation_png.zip”.
The
symbols have been exported with the positioning background grid
included, and are suitable for documentation and educational purposes
etc.
2011-06-27:
This
is a since long pending major update of the authorised vocabulary
(BCI-AV) that has been performed in cooperation between Mats Lundälv
and Britt Amberntson and the BDS (Blissymbol Development Secretariat
of BCI), SPSM/BlissOnline (Lovisa Jacobsson and Stefan Przetak),
Mélanie Maradan and Marianne Malherbe and others –
thanks to all.
It includes the removal of 18 found
duplicate Bliss-characters/Bliss-words and including some 10
gloss updates of the kept
originals, the addition of 80 Bliss-characters and
Bliss-words existing since before, but not as independent entries,
corrections of minor errors in 77 Bliss-words or characters,
and finally 136 gloss updates. In some more detail:

2010-11-10:
This
time also only another update of the language lexicon Excel file
above with a first complete list of Swedish translations (Note: Still
under revision!) – and an additional Excel file with gloss
only, prepared for additional translations (so far for Danish,
French, Dutch and German).
As you can see, this work has moved
substantially slower than I hoped in September. The current schedule
is for a thorough update of the vocabulary in December with complete
harmonised English-Swedish translations for this repository based on
WinBliss resources, and for the BlissOnline database and service.
More complete and revised language translations will then be added as
they become available in cooperation with all engaged good forces.
2010-09-12:
This
time only an update of the language lexicon Excel file above –
with added Finnish (close to complete) and a Spanish (provisional),
and updates of the Norwegian (close to complete), Polish (close to
complete) and Swedish (approaching completeness, but some more left
to add and check)
(There are quite a lot of pending updates
waiting to be reflected here in connection to the last major
inspection and comparison of BCI-AV and BlissOnline vocabulary
resources – hopefully added during September.)
2010-05-14:
Symbol
correction in:
minute 15475 (incorrect apostrophe
and kerning fixed) - in BCI-AV and
Base lists

and BCI-AV lists (... probably more to come from Britt's complemented
Swedish vocabulary list ...)
A duplicate entry of “bear's_head”
has been removed from the
additions_to_Base_list-en_2002_BCI-AV_(22901-22918).wbs –
bringing down the number of symbols in it to 18 ranging in BCI-AV
numbers from 22901-22918 (instead of 22901-22919). This symbol is
found in the BCI-AV and
additions_2009-2010_list-en_BCI-AV_(24801-24835_24840-24848) lists as
bear's_head

Updates of WinBliss files and several
file export libraries
2010-03-02:
In
connection to handling a file compatibility problem between the
latest version of WinBliss (v.1.5.3.35) and earlier versions (of
which I have until now used v.1.5.0.32), the following two symbol
errors and corrections hav been done:
apricot 12409 –
incorrect symbol (the “pit,stone” element) fixed –
in the Base and BCI-AV lists
hair_spray 23880 –
correction of distance between spray and head – in the Antwerp
and BCI-AV lists
glasses,eyeglasses 14443 – a
surplus comma at the end of the gloss/file name has been removed.
The file
compatibility problem means that the following 45 symbols are drawn,
and need to be maintained, differently between the earlier and the
latest versions:
apricot 12409 (→ fixed incorrect
symbol (pit,stone) - Base list), apricot_(dried) 24012,
avocado 12600, barber,hairdresser 12628,
barbershop,beauty_shop 12629, beard 12644, body_hair

head - Antwerp list), horsehair 24162,

tail_(horse) 24303
New versions – marked
“...(new_WB_1.5.3.35)...” – of affected
WinBliss lists added.
A new spreadsheet file (MS Excel format)
for vocabulary translation maintenance has been added, currently
containing the English WinBliss gloss that is generating the symbol
file names, plus parts of the Swedish, Norwegian and Russian
translations. This is a recommended platform for added new
language translations – until we possibly have better tools
via BlissOnline etc. Please contact me if you have ambitions or
questions regarding this!

...
2010-01-18:
The
gloss for 734 Blissymbols, mainly from BRG lexicon, but including a
few (17) from the more recent parts of the vocabulary, have been
updated to comply with the original gloss alternatives in BRG,
sometimes modified to match later additions and/or with guidance from
WordNet. As usual, some issues have come up during the work, which
need to be resolved – see the notes in the document
Bliss_gloss_updates_(BRG).pdf.
I'll have a meeting with Britt shortly, and you are all welcome to
comment. A complete list of changes is found at the end of this
document.

2009-09-21:
Thanks
to Eive Landin's continued comparison between the Bliss database in
Symbol for Windows (maintained by Doeko Hekstra and updated by Britt
Amberntson and Laila Johansen) and the WinBliss BCI-AV a number of
additional inconsistencies have been identified and updated (with the
support of Britt) in the BCI-AV. They are as follows:
Another
omitted Bliss-word from the BRG (with an obvious place-holder in the
ISO/BCI-AV numbering) – – has been located and
added:
“great
experience (Hebrew) (good + intensity: intensely good feeling)”
- empty slot for it in the ISO/BCI-AV numbering at 14640 (between
“gray” and “green_(bci)”)! Added as
“great_experience”.
The
gloss has been swapped between previous “horns”
and
“horns,antlers”–
so
now “horns”
has
BCI-AV nr. 14896, and “horn,antlers”
has
BCI-AV nr. 21061 (in the Base and BCI-AV lists)

(which is the correct concept for this symbol) together with BCI-AV
nr.24520 “Universe”:
BCI-AV

12 omitted Bliss-words have been located and
added – from the BRG (11 of them with obvious place-holders in
the ISO/BCI-AV numbering) and Supplement (just one, with no
place-holder, so seems to have been lost before or during the
numbering process). (Thanks to Eive Landin!)
They are as
follows:
“exhibitionism,immodesty,indecent_exposure”
BCI-AV 14125,
“handmade_object” BCI-AV
14672,

2009-06-19:
Duplicate
found in the the Antwerp and Montreal lists: ”childrens_song”
and ”nursery_rhyme,childrens_song” - The latter removed
(from Montreal list), and ”childrens_song” renamed to
”childrens_song,nursery_rhyme” BCI-AV numbers
updated in the Montreal and full lists.
7 additions to the
Addditions list
“Addidtions_to_Base_list.en_2002_BCI-AV_(22901-22918).wbs):
“astrologer,astrologist”, “beauty”,
“breakdown_lorry,tow_truck”
(removed 09-06-19), “cook,chef”,
“cooking,cookery,preparation-(hot_food)”,
“cooking,cookery,preparation_(general)”, and
“self-abusive” which was added earlier, but then
temporarily lost from the WinBliss list).
Gloss
updates: “Moslem” → “Muslim,Moslem,Islamic”,
”Muslim” → “Muslim,Moslem”,

Missing “tubal_ligation” (BCI-AV
17789) added to the base list
(Base_list_en_2002_BCI-AV_3030syms.wbs).
2009-05-17:
The
complete BCI-AV list
– and separate lists – in WinBliss have now been
complemented with new BCI-AV numbers (in the same style as the old so
called ISO numbers). The number ranges are included in the different
separate WinBliss file names. (Note that the previous numbers
provided only for the Dundee list have been replaced by new ones in
sequence with the other lists.)
As new BCI-AV numbers were
added, minor corrections were also done in the old base (earlier
“standard”) list:
current_events #13625 (had
been accidently dropped from BRG
lexicon)
dot #13867 (had
been accidently dropped from BRG
lexicon)
good,well,fine #14463 (had
been accidently dropped from BRG lexicon)
congratulations,mazel_tov
has been updated to
congratulations,best_of_luck,mazel_tov #15487 - added
to handle previous gloss-symbol inconsistency in previous mazel_tov,
now congratulate-(to).
Other preliminary additions that were new - or belonged to the Oxford list (king, prince, princess, queen) - have been moved from the “Base_list...” into the "changes_in_Base_list-en...." and Oxford lists.
In the Montreal
list the following to gloss updates
have been done to correct a mistake of handling these as “synonyms”
when they are rather “antonyms”:
“rent, lease
(1) -(to)” to “rent,lease,let-(to)”
“rent, lease (2) -(to)”
to “rent,lease,hire,charter-(to)”
2009-05-11:
“Up and down” arrow
kerning corrections in the following 13 Bliss-words (thanks to
Marianne!) – plus correction in arrow directions in “anxious”
– and including 4 gloss updates (according to BRG – the
Bliss Reference Guide lexicon):
anxiety,
anxious (gloss
updated to “anxious,anxiously”),
crane, elevator
(gloss updated to “elevator,lift”),
embarrassed,
embarrassing,
embarrassment, hoist
(gloss updated to “hoist,lift”),
milkshake, shake-(to)
(gloss updated to
“shake,jiggle-(to)”),
tease-(to), tongue,
upset.
A missing
activity indicator has been added to “hum-(to)”
from the Antwerp list.
Also a
few additional gloss updates: “lift-(to)” →
“lift,raise-(to)” (according to BRG),
“french fries” changed
to “French fries,chips_(OLD)” to
make room for new “French fries,chips”
(added in Montreal), also “french
horn (1)” and “french
horn (2)” have been
updated to “French horn (1)” and
“French horn (2)”.
2009-04-03:
Duplicate found in Oxford-2004 list:
“dolphin,porpoise_(etc)” - and “dolphin” in
the Std-2002 list – just an update of gloss in Std list.
2009-04-10:
Duplicate found in Standard and Furuboda
lists: “protest-(to)” and “protest,oppose-(to)”
- joined to “protest,oppose-(to)”
Gloss
adjustment: “fair,just” changed to “just,fair”
Earlier changes:
"walkway,footpath" had a duplicate "footpath,pathway" - the latter removed from the joined worklist
duplicates found in - and removed from - separate lists:
"general"
- duplicate removed from the Oxford list - (belongs to the Düsseldorf
2006 list)
"theology,philosophy_of_religion" removed
from the Furuboda - (belongs to the Oxford list)
"gale"
duplicate removed from the Antwerp list
"hedgehog"
removed from Oxford list (already updated in the standard
list)
"porcupine" removed from Oxford list (already
updated in the standard list)
Gloss corrections:
"copier,photo_copier" corrected
to "copier,photocopier" - (in the joined list - according
to documented decision)
“halvah” changed to
“halva,halvah,halwa” - (in the standard-EN_2002... and
joined “Worklists ....”)
incorrect "excited" symbol corrected in the Antwerp list
The new BCI Authorized Vocabulary Numbers (former ISO numbers) have been corrected - in the Dundee and joined WinBliss lists
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The image files in the new libs above are named according to the following:
word_gloss
,alternative_gloss
(synonym words)
_(specifier)
_(1)
(Bliss-word synonym # 1 and
upwards)
-(grammar_indicator)
.xxx
(file type suffix)
No
identical glosses should be used: homonym words separated by
accompanying synonym word(s) or by specifier on all but one of them,
Bliss-word synonyms - handled by the (1), (2) rule above
Example:
word1,word2_(specifier)-(grammar_indicator).png
verb_(1)-(to).png
verb_(2)-(to).png
Added rule about adding _(OLD) at the end (after -(to) for verbs) of old Bliss-word glosses when newer recommended replacements are added (instead of synonym numbering)!! These old versions will probably be gradually removed from active vocabularies and maintained for historic reference only.
Example:
word_(OLD)
verb-(to)_(OLD)
Suggested possible added conventions for grammar indicators in inflections:
Verb
forms (e.g. walk,go-(to)):
past
simple (walked, went): -(vps)
-
gloss: walk,go-(vps)
past
perfect (walked, gone): -(vpp)
-
gloss: walk,go-(vpp)
present
tense (walk, walks): -(vp)
-
gloss:
walk,go-(vp)
future
(will walk, will go): -(vfu)
-
gloss:
walk,go-(vfu)
progressive
(walking, going): -(vpr)
-
gloss: walk,go-(vpr)
Plural
forms: (e.g.
horse)
-(pl)
-
gloss: horse-(pl)
The reason for this suggestion is that it minimises the issues and work load in naming the inflected forms, and that it will be easy for a program to find and manage the forms – but it requires a look-up file to link up each symbol from the inflected words.
Gloss format in lexical entries:
The above described convention is recommended as a foundation for the glossing format also in general lexicon listings and documentation – though in a readable format for humans. The examples above would then be:
word1,
word2 (specifier)
verb (1) -(to)
verb (2) -(to)
etc.
