Status of assignment: Final

View here: Reference Analysis of Blue Annals Chapter 7

Comments: I created my own wiki page for this as it was too frustrating to figure out the right combination of letters to put the information in the proper site. My intention was to transfer the information at some point with the assistance of someone who knows Tibetan, but I stopped a short way through the chapter. Per the mid-semester discussion, I did not revisit this assignment.
