Is Diedrich\'s thesis still online
#1
The copy of Paul Diedrich's PhD thesis "The Frequency of Latin Words and their Endings" (Chicago, 1939) at this website is down, and the Wayback Machine didn't cache it. I find its organized vocabulary very helpful as I work on my Latin reading speed (it lets you spot, for example, that earth words are normally feminine, explaining the gender of humus) but I can't find any other online version of the full 1500 word list except here. Lots of website have a version of his 300 word list.

I will download the wikidot PDF, but does anyone know of another online copy of either the thesis or just the various word lists? Its always good to have a spare.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.

Yes I think it is around in various versions, I use it to teach actually. Let me check for links, if not I'll mail you a PDF?

That was the only copy I could find with the full list and not just the short one. The rest of the thesis would still be worth having access to, if there are any public versions.

Try this one: http://web.archive.org/web/2010041006024...r/freq.htm

It's an archived edition, but functional none the less.
