Lidepla–English dictionary

Edition 1.2, as of 2015-03-12

Pronunciation        Short grammar

Preliminary notes

1. This is a Lidepla-English dictionary based on Edition 1.2. Newly created expressions that have been included since the publication of Edition 1.2 are highlighted in red. Words that are no longer to be used look like this. Further information: wiki.lidepla.info. General information about Lidepla: wikipedia.

2. Word etymologies are given sparingly; usually only one source language is indicated. However, one should bear in mind that many words have roots in several different languages; these have been given preference. E.g. the word "kitaba" is originally from Arabic, but the root is also present in Turkish, Hindi, and a lot of other languages. Moreover, the etymology indicated is often not the earliest one. Thus, you'll see "Turkish" under the words "banka" and "dolar" not because they are originally Turkish words but because in Turkish they have the same form as in Lidepla.

3. It is important to know that where there are several English equivalents, they are separated either by a comma or a semicolon. If there is a comma, only a related or common meaning is implied; a semicolon indicates different meanings. E.g.

filakwo row, line; queue, file

"Row" and "line" are separated by a comma, which makes it clear that in this case "row" does not mean either "quarrel" or "travel in a rowboat". Similarly, "queue" and "file" have many different meanings, but only the common meaning "a line of waiting people or vehicles" is valid in this case.
