==Notes==
== Alphabetizing ==
Words are alphabetized according to their Romanization. That means the consonants use the above order in the table of contents, and vowels use the following order: '''a''', '''e''', '''á''', '''ą''', '''ay''', '''i''', '''ư''', '''é''', '''į''', '''o''', '''ơ''', '''ú''', '''ǫ''', and '''oy'''. If a word is of the CCV shape, it will follow entries with a CV shape. And then, if necessary, finals are used in the same order as they appear in the TOC.

That means the consonants use the above order in the table of contents, and vowels use the following order: '''a''', '''e''', '''á''', '''ą''', '''ay''', '''i''', '''ư''', '''é''', '''į''', '''ya''', '''o''', '''ơ''', '''ú''', '''ǫ''', and '''oy'''. If a word is of the CCV shape, it will follow entries with a CV shape. And then, if necessary, finals are used in the same order as they appear in the above table of contents.


Noun classifications are listed after the part of speech (''n'' for noun) with the following abbreviations:
Words beginning with a glottal stop are not often written with the apostrophe, however they will be below for consistency with the heading which needed a symbol for proper sorting. In addition, it is generally redundant to list it, as there are no words that begin with just a vowel.
 
=== Parts of Speech ===
Each word is classified as to its part of speech. Nouns are marked with an ''n'', verbs with a ''v'', pronouns with ''pn'', adjectives with ''adj'', numerals with ''num'', etc. Further, nouns are also all marked as to what noun class they belong to. Sometimes, a noun can belong to multiple noun classes depending upon its usage or intended meaning; when that is the case, the definition of each meaning is listed after the class to which that particular usage belongs.

Alphabetizing

Words are alphabetized according to their romanization. That means the consonants use the above order in the table of contents, and vowels use the following order: a, e, á, ą, ay, i, ư, é, į, ya, o, ơ, ú, ǫ, and oy. If a word is of the CCV shape, it will follow entries with a CV shape. And then, if necessary, finals are used in the same order as they appear in the above table of contents.

Words beginning with a glottal stop are not often written with the apostrophe, however they will be below for consistency with the heading which needed a symbol for proper sorting. In addition, it is generally redundant to list it, as there are no words that begin with just a vowel.

Parts of Speech

Each word is classified as to its part of speech. Nouns are marked with an n, verbs with a v, pronouns with pn, adjectives with adj, numerals with num, etc. Further, nouns are also all marked as to what noun class they belong to. Sometimes, a noun can belong to multiple noun classes depending upon its usage or intended meaning; when that is the case, the definition of each meaning is listed after the class to which that particular usage belongs.

Noun classifications are listed after the part of speech with the following abbreviations:

  • Human; hmn
  • Animate; anim
  • Tall/Long; tall
  • Round; rnd
  • Flat; flat
  • Amorphous; amor
  • Abstract; abs
