First:OK, sorry if this is already done, but I coudn't find anything in the forum. So if there is a topic about this already, please note.

Second: This is a list of errors I found between the image grid (on the forum) and between the dictionary.

I will do this by writing the Sarus word first, the image grid meaning second and the dictionary word third.
Like this:

[Sarus word] _ [image grid meaning] _ [ dictionary meaning] [code number for the type of error comited

rdm _ new, young _ young

For reference I use the dictionary from here: http://www.biteycastle.com/525/engSarus.htm

Third: I will note every little difference, mayor or minor. I will also attach the code system, becuse I am not sure that I can finish this up. That means that somebody else might want to do it, please use the code system for clarity.

Here we go.

rdm _ new, young _ young (c3, mdr = new)
rms _ house, home, shelter _ house, home (c1)
rsf _ now _ know (c2)
rlf _ valuable _ breeze (c5)
Rtm _ hot _ heat (c4)
mrr _ have, possess, hold, own _ have, own (c1)
mrs _ head, top _ face, head, top (c1)
(at the Me So part) sml _ move _ move (should be msl, c2)
fdr _ boring _ bore (c6)
flr _ waste, rubbish _ gale (c5)
fts _ together _ together, with (c1)
sml _ break _ break, origin (c3 or c5, depending on whether the dictionary or the imnage grid is correct as origin is also at lft)
ssd _ confident, bold _ confident (c1)
str_ mind_ ghost, spirit, soul (c4)
stt _ alone, sinlge _ alone (c1)
lmd _ baby, infant _ infant (c1 and/or c3, debated)
(at the "starting with La Fa") sml _ start, beginning, origin _
lft _ start, beginning, origin _ beginning (c2, as there seems to be a mixup with sml in the dictionary)
("starting with Ti Do") sml _ drink _ drink (c2, again with the sml mixed up)
tmt _ air _ air, sky (c1)
tfs _ brain _ mind, brain (c1)
tsm _ stop, stay, wait _ stop, stay (c1, as "wait" would be evident when you are not moving)
tst _ earth _ earth, ground, land (c1)
tlm _ persue, chase, seek _ persue, chase, seek, hunt (c1)
ttd _ hope _ hopeful (c6)



c1= Code 1 = Lazy to add alternative meaning or alternative meaning not in dictionary, does not need to be corrected.
c2= Code 2 = Typo, needs to be corrected.
c3= Code 3 = Additional meaning that already exists, needs to be corrected.
c4= Code 4 = Most likely mixed up the meaning while doing the image grid, needs to be corrected.
c5 = Code 5 = Totally different meaning that is not in the dictionary at all (either only meaning or alternative), needs to be corrected.
C6= Code 6 = the word is affixed, needs to be corrected ("bore" is not the same as "boring", as "bore would only become "boring" if there is a present participle before it, ie "ll fdr" (boring) and "fdr" (bore).

Note: I am not doing this to critisise or to make fun of Sarus or subletly point out that Adam is a lazy [insert offensive and negative property here]. I am doing this becuse I had a few misuderstandings while using the dictionary with someone who uses the image grid. I will update this topic, either by editing this post or doing further posts down.

I acsully want to help Adam here, by pointing out the errors so he can merely look them up and correct them.

EDIT NOTE:
Holy mother upun the heaven, please balance my karma towards positive for this.
I am done.
Please post if there is an error that I missed or you think that an error is not an error.

AFAIK the grid is outdated, I think they date back from when Sarus was still B525, "Sarus" is the second incarnation of "B525".
Changes have been made in the dictionary since then.

*edit* nevermind...

hey Zix, thanks for doing all this.. don't worry, I might not have replied (I know I should have) but I really appreciate the work you've done. When I get some more time I'll go through and fix any discrepancies that I - or anyone else - finds. Thanks again :)

while were looking out for typos and errors, I've noticed the lack of a word... maybe its just me, but while writing the message "I cannot live without you" I was surprised to find there was no "without"...

in the end, my message now reads "I cannot live apart from you" so I guess it works out, but like I said, I find "without" to be somewhat common

Lack of words are not errors or typos. You have to be creative with Sarus.

that's right.. you do need to be creative with Sarus. However "without" does exist in the Sarus dictionary..

with / together: fts
without / apart: stf

found some time to do a little bit of work on Sarus, but didn't get much done before work reared its ugly head again. It's going to be a slow gradual process :\
