How do I search for a word?

Type or copy a word into the search box; press ENTER on your keyboard.

You can search for mutated forms, verb forms, feminine adjectives, prepositional forms, etc. and combinations of these (e.g. thery, felen, thanaf.)

To input a vowel with a diacritic above it, type the vowel and the diacritic symbol separately and they will be combined automatically, e.g. a^ => â; e/ => é; o\ => ò
