Word Column
Spellings in ⟨ chevrons ⟩ have had foreign spelling influence reversed. They are spoken the same way.
Meaning Column
ᚹ = widened meaning, a meaning added to a word for the sake of Anglish.
ᚾ = discouraged, an attested meaning which I discourage for one reason or another.
ᛁ = intransitive only, a verb meaning that may not have a direct object. A plant can wax (increase in size or intensity), but it can't wax something else.
ᛏ = transitive only, a verb meaning that must have a direct object. A plant can need water, but it can't need without needing something.
᛫ = 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
A 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.
