Thank you, Sarah,

For that reference.  I have not seen that book mentioned before.

Well, since this Levinsohn book is referred to a great deal, being also 
from SIL, I likely will obtain it.  I just recently joined this site.  
This subject of books on DA was gone through a few years ago on this 
site, I see from searching a bit, and that seemed to be one book 
mentioned a good deal when someone asked a similar question.   Being a 
few years later, I thought I would see what I would hear.

I am just reading what I find on the Greek sites about this.  I like to 
have a book(s)  in hand to read, too,  easier on the eyes than looking 
at a display.  PErhaps that should have been a Christmas gift request, 
a  new larger finer display.

Thanks for the reference.
