 VOCABULARY
 
 The gender of nouns is indicated by the initial letters m., /., n. Of 
 masculine and neuter nouns the genitive singular and nominative 
 plural are indicated, of feminine nouns the nominative plural only. 
 
 Verbs separably compounded have a hyphen between the prefix 
 and the simple verb. Of strong verbs the principal parts are given 
 followed by the vowel of the third person singular indicative, if it 
 differs from that of the first person. Unless otherwise stated the 
 auxiliary of the perfect tense is understood to be fyaben. 
 
 Infinitives and adjectives used as nouns and participles used as 
 adjectives have been noted separately only when a distinct mean- 
 ing has developed. 
 
 In addition to the more common abbreviations the following have 
 been used: 
 
 abbr.=> abbreviation mus. = music 
 
 arch. = archaic poet. = poetic 
 
 dial. = dialectic sep. = separable 
 fig. - figurative
