August Wilhelm Hupel (25 February [O.S. 14 February] 1737 in Buttelstedt near Weimar – 7 February [O.S. 26 January] 1819 in Paide) was a Baltic German publicist, estophile and linguist.

In 1766–1767, he translated for Lühhike öppetus, the first Estonian language periodical publication, edited by Peter Ernst Wilde. In 1771, he published a medical textbook, Arsti ramat nende juhhatamisseks kes tahtvad többed ärra-arvada ning parrandada (Estonian for Manual of medical diagnostics and healthcare, literally Doctor's book to instruct those who want to guess and repair ailments).

In 1780, Hupel completed a treatise on Estonian grammar, Ehstnische Sprachlehre für beide Hauptdialekte, den revalschen und den dörptschen, nebst einem vollständigen Wörterbuch. First printing of the included dictionary contained around 17,000 words and description of their morphology. The second printing, printed in 1820, had grown to around 20,000 words.

gollark: I need to somehow autodetect exploit-looking stuff and have PCSC upload it for analysis.

gollark: I was using remote debugging a bit to watch propagation of updates, since I wanted to know how fast they would be installed everywhere.

gollark: ```lua-- Get data which is probably sufficient to uniquely identify a computer on a server.function _G.get_host() return { label = os.getComputerLabel(), ID = os.getComputerID(), lua_version = _VERSION, CC_host = _HOST, build = _G.build_number, craftOS_version = os.version(), debug_available = _G.debug ~= nil, ingame_location = location, SPF_server = SPF.server, CC_default_settings = _CC_DEFAULT_SETTINGS, }end```

gollark: More data → more betterer → more goodererness

gollark: Disabling the remote debugging system wouldn't stop you getting updates. Those are automated. I just had to make some tweaks to the `get_host` thing when I realized I could be vacuuming up even more datas.
