The Glossary is a compilation of vocabulary from the Poetry page. \u00a0It is a work in progress and new vocabulary will continue to be added from time to time. \u00a0Readers, as elsewhere on the site, are welcome to comment.<\/p>\n

Each lexeme has a gloss, in many cases a number of glosses, gleaned from several sources, each of which is coded as to source. Most sources are dictionaries; some though are references to how a word has been translated. So, for example, (WH) in entries refers to William Hichens; (ASN) to Ahmed Sheikh Nabhany. \u00a0Further, each lexeme is illustrated with at least one citation of a whole verse, or part of a verse if the whole context is not needed, from poetry. These are also coded so that the user of the dictionary can refer back to the whole poem, thus having\u00a0access to the full context.<\/p>\n
