Have you tried checking Wayback for it?
http://www.archive.org
Plug the desired URL into the field in the Web rectangle near the top of
the page. Or better yet, get the Firefox extension called Methusalem:
http://murk.34sp.com/o/methusalem/
It takes the place of the Wayback extension, which broke under Firefox
version 1.5.
With this, you can just right-click the broken link on a page and select
Wayback [This] Link, and it will take you to the Wayback service's copy
of that page, without you having to manually copy-and-paste it into that
field at their front page. Assuming they archived the given page, that

Probably a good idea. Do some kind of automatic mirroring, perhaps.

There are no universal values for Cyrillic characters, e.g. |è| is [i] in
Russian but [I] in Ukrainian. For now the only form I saw is |åâðî| in
Russian and |ºâðî| in Ukrainian. Both indeclinable masculine.

My point was that the Greek form has an orthographic diphthong just the Latin.

The treatment of |eu| in Greek-derived Swedish words is erratic, but [Ev] is
probably the commonest.
Back in the day, some Swedes used an English-inspired [j8\:ru], but that
pronunciation, thankfully, seems to have died out.

Yeah, thank goodness. The last thing you want is to sound like those
ignorant Anglophones. :)

IME Swedish Euro-supporters say [j8\:ru] while Euro-opponents say
[Evru] or [evru]. There may be exceptions, but by and large the
picture holds true.

I'd be happy to. . .but I can't see how to sign up.

http://www.talideon.com/concultures/wiki/ has been locked
for some time, due to vandalism. Keith has stated that he wants to set up
an editors table - hopefully if enough people sign up for this, he'll be
able to resurrect the wiki. I've volunteered already, and I think it would
be a good thing if other people did. Please have a look at the wiki, and
sign up if you think you can make a contribution to bringing a useful
resource back to life.
