All
English words in this dictionary, including words absorbed into
English from other languages, are listed alphabetically. Latin
words and phrases are arranged alphabetically in their own section.
When an individual word has different spellings in the Pelican
series, the variants are listed with a slash between them, followed
by the respelling and phonetics (phonetics are not included on
the website):
lower / low'r / lour
(to frown) LOWR
Multiple entries, including family names, proper names of characters
in the cast list and characters who are alluded to or mentioned
in a play but are not in the cast list, are organized in the following
manner: the first line of the main entry gives the basic pronunciation
and any variant pronunciations due to scansion. Indented under
the main entry, the characters in the cast are listed with their
play abbreviation, the line references of variant pronunciations,
and the respellings of any additional information. If no line
reference is given then the proper name does not alter in that
play.
