Dictionary entries explained

A basic entry in C'Lela consists of a headword followed by the abbreviation for the part of speech. Next, the definition in English is given followed by an example sentence in C'Lela.  Finally, the semantic domain number and category is given in parentheses. The semantic domain category is a hyperlink.

In the example below, "n" represents noun.

When the headword has more than one meaning, each definition is numbered. The first example below shows a linked cross reference.
