My dictionary sources seem to transliterate OCS, but not Greek. Since OCS has a number of weirder characters that most people who know Russian Cyrillic won't have come across, this sounds like a good model.
However, we should also be cognizant, for a "Latin/Greek/Sanskrit Vocabulary for Philologists", of what languages people will actually know. It's easier to see cognates between Greek and Avestan than between Greek and modern Persian, for example, but...how many of us actually know an...

The three attributes of colour that people usually consider when designing something for visual appeal are hue, saturation, and value/luminosity; value is essentially brightness (lighter colours vs. black), saturation is essentially colourfulness (strong colours vs. grey) and hue is the average wavelength of the colour as perceived by the eye (i.e. a rainbow.) Luminosity is this weird in-between thing between value and saturation where the range is extended upwards towards white, and the actual ...

Yeah, I think the thing with cognates sounds good. Mallory and Adams actually transliterates Greek and normally-Cyrillic, but every other text I have uses the native orthographies. I'll be trying to reproduce the what the text uses; the final composite will prefer native-orthography representations.

Fine for me (red/green deficient).
Just don't put masses of white between them and it's less of a problem; if we can see the dividing line between the colors (and if colored it's dark red or black or something in that region), we can usually at least tell they're meant to be differentiated, even in the event that the colors look identical to us, but if there's whitespace in-between, all bets are off.
PS: Wait, [i]3[/i] shades of green? I see two greens and 3 blues…

Yep, that's what I wanna know, so I avoid problems with colour-deficient people in future maps!
I want to be sure everybody can see the shades.
I'll put thin black lines between those areas, though. The map is far by being finished.

Since the Greek spreadsheet was so unwieldy, but had little data, I've scrapped it. I'm starting on Latin, now, with [url=http://dcc.dickinson.edu/latin-vocabulary-list]this frequency list[/url]. Etymologies are pulled from de Vaan, 2008 (the Leiden Etymological Dictionary series.) Greek etymologies, when I get to them, will probably end up being pulled from a combination of Beekes and Chantraine.
This time around, can we please write Greek in its native alphabet? Maybe write the Slavic...
