Many words have a stem used with all suffixes distinct from their unsuffixed form. The entries for such words contain a dot (.) and a pipe (|). All material before the pipe constitutes the unsuffixed form, and the suffixed form is obtained from there by replacing the material after the dot with the material after the pipe. For instance puň.ei|n 'turnip' is puňei unsuffixed, puňn- suffixed; du.|n 'mountain' is du, dun-. The same device is used for phonemically invariant stems subject to phonological processes: məi.s|z 'father' is best thought of as simply /məiz/.
The second column specifies the capital and caudal classes of each inflecting stem. In addition, if a vowel of the stem is subject to a-mutation, it will be underlined in the first column and the other form will appear in the second column, marked with > if the citation form is unmutated and < if it is mutated. So ij V:W >əi 'snow' is vocalic capital, consonantal weak caudal, unmutated in citation form, and forms əijka 'its snow', while kaj Cs:W <o 'tongue' is voiceless capital, consonantal weak caudal, mutated in citation form, and forms kojəi 'my tongue'. (Mutation cannot change register, so if an underlined vowel bears a register diacritic this isn't repeated, as a notational convenience.)
Adjectives are glossed with English adjectives. Separable p-verbs are indexed under their second part and displayed with a hyphen; this hyphen is not used in running romanised text.
This lexicon includes many derivations, including a certain number which are regular. They're just here for comprehensiveness. On the other hand not all derived words (especially ta- inceptives and tez- factitives) in use are included.
