headword
- The word described by a given dictionary entry. Usually, the headword has the same spelling as the page name. Exceptions are for entries in languages with optional diacritics (e.g.
līber
līber
), entries without Unicode representation (e.g. sign language entries and hieroglyphics like
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module
Module:languages/data/3/e
not found.
), and when MediaWiki prohibits the preferred spelling (e.g.
:-)
).
headword line
– At the core of each entry is a headword line, which lists the headword in bold, often followed by basic grammar and orthography details, e.g. gender, inflected forms, alternate orthography in languages with multiple orthographies like
Japanese
Korean
and
Serbian
. Some editors use the phrase
inflection line
instead.
historical
– Means included for historical information; the thing it refers to is not in current use or no longer exists; e.g.
blueshirt
Czechoslovakia
. This does not mean the same as "obsolete"; while the thing referred to is obsolete, the word that refers to it is extant.

idiom
– A phrase which has a meaning apparently unconnected with the individual words that make it up. E.g. to

lemma
– the citation form of an inflected word, especially the form found in bilingual or abridged dictionaries. For verbs, this is usually either the infinitive, or the first-person singular present tense form (depending on the language); for nouns, this is usually the nominative singular (in languages with case and number); and for adjectives, this is usually the nominative singular masculine or neuter form. The plural of
Lua error in Module:links at line 1259: attempt to concatenate a nil value.
is traditionally
Lua error in Module:links at line 1259: attempt to concatenate a nil value.
, but the form
Lua error in Module:links at line 1259: attempt to concatenate a nil value.
exists as well.
lemming
– a dictionary (with the implication that trusting other dictionaries, rather than real-world usage, might be blindly unwise).
lexeme
– roughly: the abstract "word" underlying a set of inflections; for example,
Lua error in Module:links at line 1259: attempt to concatenate a nil value.
and
Lua error in Module:links at line 1259: attempt to concatenate a nil value.
belong to the same lexeme, which is usually identified by its lemma form
Lua error in Module:links at line 1259: attempt to concatenate a nil value.
