Dictionary Entries explained

The dictionary entries consist of a headword followed by the abbreviation for the part of speech. Then a definition is given in English followed by a definition in Tok Pisin. Then the semantic domain number and category are given. The semantic domain categories link to other data in that domain.

In the following example, the headword is a noun:

adiik kapak n coconut shell after meat has been removed sel kokonas (sem. domains: 1.5.5 - Parts of a plant.)

The following example shows several related meanings of the headword, which are numbered:

adiik n 1coconut shell sel kokonas (sem. domains: 1.5.5 - Parts of a plant.) 2plate plet (sem. domains: 5.2.2.8 - Eating utensil.) 3shell of a turtle sel bilong trausel (sem. domains: 1.6.2.2 - Parts of a reptile.)

When the words that are spelled the same, have very distinct meanings, the words are numbered with subscripts and are displayed as separate entries:

batu₁ v pound or chop sago sikirapim saksak (sem. domains: 7.7.1 - Hit.)

batu₂ n ant lion binatang (sem. domains: 1.6.1.7 - Insect.)
