Interpreting this Greek lexicon

Greek words are listed alphabetically by base. Thus, κατα/λυ/ is found under the base λυ/, not the prefix κατα/. The unconventional letters ϝ and J are included in bases, but they do not influence the alphabetization. For instance, ϝέργο/ is listed as if it begins with ε.

Following the base is the definition—or, more commonly, set of definitions. Where available, cognates and loanwords are provided in parentheses after the definition. These help make connections between Ancient Greek and English. Words borrowed directly from Ancient Greek are listed first. Ital. before the word means that it comes from a cognate in an Italic language (Latin or a Romance language). Germ. before a word means that it is the cognate in a Germanic language (usually English). See HERE for the distinction between loanwords and borrowings, cognates, and derivatives.
