This dictionary is a simple list of equivalences of
English and Tundrian words, phrases and expressions.
Each entry consists of an English word, phrase or
expression with its Tundrian equivalent. There are five columns in the
dictionary:
- English entry
- Numerical index
- Part of speech
- Tundrian equivalent
- Explanation
Where an English entry has several Tundrian equivalents,
it is not repeated for the 2nd, 3rd etc. repetition. Where the English entry is
the same, but the part of speech changes from transitive to intransitive verb,
the part of speech is specified.
In the English column, compound words and phrases are
indented under the main entry they are included under.
