Meaning Column ᚹ = widened meaning, a meaning added to a word for the sake of Anglish. ᛞ = discouraged, an attested meaning which I discourage, probably because narrowing the word's meaning is particularly desirable. ᛫ = definition separator, so "᛫ a cat ᛫ a dog ᛫" shows that the word means both cat and dog. ᛬᛬ = part of speech separator, so "᛫ a cat ᛬᛬ to dog ᛫" shows the two definitions are different parts of speech. Forebear Column Tilde ( ~ ) means the Anglish word was taken directly from Modern English with no changes. Words in [ square brackets ] are older forms of the word which did not influence the Anglish word whose entry they are a part of. They're included largely because it makes looking up words easier. Words in { curly brackets } are words which are, for some reason, of note to the word whose entry they are part of.
