This
glossary
of English words has been compilcd
ftom a variety of lists
of
common English words and
cross-checked
with
word frequencies in hish.
Many words
given
in
the book have also been included. Thc
abbreviations
are
(m)
for masculine and
(f)
for feminine;
(g.)
for
genitive
and
(pl.)
for
plural.
The endings to be
added are
marked
with a hlphen. Note that we
have followed the
practice
in dictionaries of Irish of sometimes
including
a constant
part
of the word after the hlphen when
the degree of change
warrants
that. For instance
the
plural
of am time is amanta and it is
suf6cient to note
pl.
-aata.
However in the case
of
piiste
child we have
plural
piisti
and
it
is necessary to
give
pl.
-ti,
carrying over the t, rather
than
jusc
-i,
wbich is not clcar
enough.
