The function `translate' ends up returning a list of alists. What can I do to return just a single alist?
(defconst assoc-table-1 '( ("gigantic" . "jgN") ("graphology" . "Gol") ("phrenology" . "fnol") ))(defconst assoc-table-2 '( ("psychology" . "skol") ("physiology" . "fsol") ("minerology" . "Mnol") ))
(defun translate () "TODO" (let* ( (name "assoc-table-") (list '()) (counter 1) ) (while (boundp (intern (concat name (number-to-string counter)))) (setq list (append list (symbol-value (intern (concat name (number-to-string counter)))))) (setq counter (1+ counter))) list))
