This is a more up-to-date version of the dictionary that used to be available from zompist.com in Word format via ftp. I don't really have the bandwidth to keep it in multiple formats. I chose html format because (a) that seemed best in a quick poll on the message board and (b) it's very fast to update.
To facilitate reason (b), I'm avoiding anything fancy. So Ismaîn words look ugly, and Cadhinor digraphs aren't all upper case, and what should be in the Verdurian font isn't (thus the doubled letters)...

Though the alphabetical order is according to our alphabet, Ch Dh Rh Sh Zh are considered letters, and are alphabetized after C D R S Z respectively. (Acute accents and umlauts, however, are ignored for purposes of alphabetization.)
Etymology in [brackets]; Cadhinor words in CAPS; Verdurian and Old Verdurian (OV) in italics; words from other languages underlined. 'Reborrowing' indicates words borrowed in recent times from Cadhinor rather than inherited. For the derivation of Cadhinor, Cuêzi, and Xurnásh/Axunashin roots from Proto-Eastern, see the appropriate grammars.
No etymology is given for words formed from common affixes like rho-, -náe, -om, so long as the root has its own dictionary entry.
Parts of speech and genders are not given when they are evident from the form of the word in Verdurian.
Transitivity: vt = transitive; vi = intransitive; vt/vi = either.
The entries for words showing irregular morphology show the forms affected, including common spelling variations. For regular morphology, see the Grammar.
Dialectal, OV, and archaic words are generally entered only when they are mentioned elsewhere in the Verdurian Research Series, and are always marked as such. The selected slang and colloquial words which have been included are also labelled. All other words can be considered standard Mazhtane.
Entries for animal names include a short description, which should be taken as a summary of the essential characteristics of the animal. The English gloss is the closest terrestrial analogue; characteristics of this animal not mentioned in the short description do not necessarily apply to the Almean animal.
The lexicon includes the commonest Cuzeian and Eledhe given names, but does not indicate common words also used as names, and does not include Cadhinor-style combined names (of which more than four hundred are in common use). See the monograph Verdurian Names for these. However, the common name elements in Cadhinorian names are listed.
