Since both headwords have a long vowel, the cross-reference was changed to match.
Most errors are trivial, such as missing or incorrect punctuation or misplaced italics. The word “invisible” in corrections means that there is an appropriately sized blank space in the printed text. Punctuation at the end of entries was silently regularized, and missing or invisible periods (full stops) after standard abbreviations such as “m.” or “pl.” were silently supplied. Other errors are shown in the text with mouse-hover popups.
[ Alphabetization in the Dictionary]
Unless otherwise noted, words are spelled and alphabetized as originally printed. Note in particular:
The letter æ is alphabetized as ae.
The letter ð (eth) is alphabetized separately after t.
The letters j and v are not used.
When two words are otherwise identical, the one containing a macron is generally alphabetized second.
[ Cross-References]
Cross-references are linked to the referenced word. When the word is located in your current file (A-C, D-G, H-N, O-S, T-Y) the link is [highlighted]; when it is in another file, the link is [underlined]. These settings may be overridden by your personal browser preferences. Your browser may take a short while to find the word, especially if it is opening a file for the first time, so you will generally see the beginning of the new file before being taken to the right location.
