Dictionary Entries explained

 
Entries are displayed in their phonetic form rather than in their orthographic form.

Each entry begins with a key word which is displayed in red and is hyperlinked to the search page.
The symbol "-" indicates a morpheme boundary, while the "≠" symbol indicates a left micro-stem boundary.
For nouns, the plural form is given in parentheses following the abbreviation "pl." and is also hyperlinked. Following that is the abbreviation for the part of speech, in green. In the following example, the abbreviation "n" means "noun." Then the definition of the word in English appears in green, followed by the definition in French which appears in blue.

à-mà-bʲ≠àŋ–àn-à (pl. bà-mà-bʲ≠àŋ–àn-à) n Eng God (supreme being) Frn Dieu (être suprême)

If a word has multiple distinct meanings or can serve as more than one part of speech, the definitions are numbered. See the following example:

à≠mád-mád̥ (pl. bà≠mád-mád̥) 1) n Eng courageous man, brave man Frn courageux, brave 2) adj Eng courageous Frn œageux

If a word has several related meanings these are separated by semi-colons.

gɛ̀≠lɛ̀ⁿtʃ (pl. bɛ̀≠lɛ̀ⁿtʃ) n Eng sign; mark; symbol Frn signe; marque; symbole

Multiple definitions of a word that are very close in meaning are separated by commas.

bèsěː adv Eng well, good, right, tasty, sweet Frn bien, bon, correct, en forme, santé, bon (au gout), sucré
