Lexicon

Lexemes are indexed by root. It can be somewhat challenging to identify the root in an arbitrary OS word, at least till the morphology is mastered. I advise determining the part of speech first (word order is an essential clue for this), then checking through the morphology section. There are relatively few prefixes, so check those first; the next two or three consonants are likely to form the root.
