To search for a word, type it into the box on the right.
You can search for a word or part of a word in the Kankanaey or English.
The accented vowel buttons contained in the Search area are for the stressed vowel symbols rather than a different vowel. If you don't know the stress, then the default search will ignore stress. If you use the Advanced Search you can force the search to include stress.

[Tip: you can ignore the Languages and Parts of Speech drop-down boxes - they are for advanced searches]
