Phew, much relief that there will be no annotated text. But Alan doubts whether work on the Companion has started yet. It had better start soon, if it's due next year! Who is doing it? Surely not the Tarpaulin Maid-of-all-Work? It is a Herculean task. Isn't the best way to do it to assemble a 'panel of experts', so that at least one of them might know the derivation for any given AR term or usage? Encyclopaedias are compiled in this way.
