[matrix] Lexicon building

[Petter Haugereid]

Dear list members,

I have been contacted by Gertrud Faasz, a PhD student in Pretoria, South
Africa, which is about to build a grammar for Northern Sotho. She
wonders how much time it takes to build a lexicon with 30000 entries:

"And maybe you have information about the workload, I mean the 
person-time estimation for setting up a lexicon of, let's say, about 
30,000 entries? This work will be done by students being trained on the 
job and I must find some soon."

Can any of you help me to give an estimate?

Best regards,

Petter
