We present accurate new wavenumbers for a set of 13 mid-infraredfine-structure lines. The wavenumbers were determined from observations of theplanetary nebula NGC 7027 and of the red supergiant Alpha Scorpii. Most of thenew wavenumbers are good to within 0.0025%, or 8 km/s. We provide details onthe measurements and present an analysis of the errors. In addition, we presentthe first observations of hyperfine splitting in the [Na IV] 1106 cm-1 line.Comment: 12 pages text, 2 postscript figures, uses AASTeX macros, figures are gzipped and uuencode
