---[2]-- Q & A --------------------------------------------------


** [2rf] Finnish botanical query

         Date: Thurs, 20 Dec 2001
         From: Naomi Laredo, Naomi@smallprt.demon.co.uk

[Cross-posted from LANGline]

Query from a friend who works at Norwich Castle museum. Can
anyone help?

  I have a botanical label that I believe is in Finnish as it
  mentions a placename (Kajaani) that I have ascertained is indeed
  in Finland. The label reads as follows:

  'Ostrobottnia kajanensis: Kajaani, Lehtikangas, tienreuna.'

  A translation or any elucidation would be much appreciated.

The first part is Latin (Ostrobotnia = name of a province in
Western Finland)

Kajaani is a city in the Kainuu province (see
< http://www.kajaani.fi/english/homepage.htm >)

Lehtikangas is probably the name of a village/suburb etc. around
Kajaani

"tienreuna" means border of the road, roadside

** [4fm] Australian Style Guide

         Date: Thurs, 13 Dec 2001
         From: Emma Davis, emma.davis@alia.org.au

To all the Aussie subscribers -- has anyone heard any news about
the publication of the new edition of the Australian style
guide?? There was a presentation about the publication at the
editors conference in April, but I've not heard anything about it
since. Any news would be appreciated (probably off list).

I asked just this same question on another editing list I belong
to (Ce-L) earlier this week. From the responses I received, it
apppears that February/March 2002 is looking possible, but it's
best to put yourself on the notification list at the AGPS shop.

Thanks to all who responded to my cry regarding e-words [see
thread [2qr] E-style/estyle]. We have decided to go with using
email as one word but hyphenating all others. For Australian
subscribers, this is the recommendation of the editors of the new
Style Manual (formerly AGPS, now AusInfo), which will be
published in February 2002.
