Reading an entry
Each entry gives the word, its type and its meaning. Open Examples for recorded sentences, Notes for spelling and usage notes, and Sources to see who recorded the word and how they spelt it.
Search in any spelling: Sharpe’s, Allen & Lane’s, Hanlon’s, Watson’s, or a sound-alike spelling of your own. The match shows where that spelling was recorded.
Use Spelling to choose whose spelling heads each entry, or show every word in Gibamyeri. Your choice is remembered on this device.
Gibamyeri forms follow Sharpe’s spelling, keeping the vowel after r where Allen & Lane or Hanlon recorded one.
Linked words lead to related entries.
