While reviewing the definitions and laying them out as their defined
form, the reader may notice variances in meaning amoungst the assemblage
such that
there is no immediate relation between all of the members
contained in the form
that is obvious (or is even apparent). However,
regardless of any sense of agreement between any of the definitions given,
the specification of the term denotes each of them.
A scholastic or literary dictionary includes a section that is set within
brackets and this section is usually placed immediately following an italized
abbreviation used to designate the grammatical position the term fills as the
term is applied in this language. Here, the "part-of-speech" is coordinated
and expanded through the information contained within the brackets.
(Sometimes this section is placed at the end of the definitions.)
The
bracketed section provides either a precedent of the word or a recent
source of coinage. If a precedent is given, then either a variation of the
letters that compose the word is given or the word is seperated into
component parts that, ordinarily, corrospond to a syllabary of the word.
Either way, an historical language is indicated as the base and the specific
language is refered to through an abbreviation that is given in front of
the precedent.
