Cross-references are shown as printed. When there is an error or ambiguity, corrections are shown in [a]mouse-hover popups] with these standard wordings:
under “mūs”
The referenced word is either a secondary entry or a parenthesized alternative spelling in the form “mūs (ȳ)”
headword spelled “mūs”
Minor difference, generally an added or omitted macron or a predictable vowel variation such as ī for ȳ.
form of “mūs”
The referenced word is an inflected form. A few very common patterns such as adverbs in “-līce” listed under adjectives in “-lic” are not individually noted.
redirected to “mūs”
The cross-referenced form leads to further cross-references.
Most errors are minor lapses in editing. More complicated errors, such as references to words that could not be found in the Dictionary, are explained in separate paragraphs immediately following the entry.
Technical Note
Anchors of Dictionary headwords are in the form word_entry (lower case) with these modifications:
— The letters æ and ð have been “unpacked” to ae and th: æfðanc = word_aefthanc
— Long vowels are written with q, since this letter does not otherwise occur: ham, hām = word_ham, word_haqm. Long ǣ is aeq (aē does not occur).
