I don't remember who, but someone posted a complaint that the word 
"municipality" is not in the new Oxford Dictionary. I was surprised because 
that IS a very useful word. Well, I checked and the word "municipal" is listed 
there. While IMO "municipality" should have been there as well, "municiapl" 
should be enough for most students to understand the meaning of "municipality" 
- especially considering the fact that there is a list of suffixes at the end 
of the dictionary, and we are supposed to teach our students about common noun 
endings.
   
  All the best,
  Rivka
