b'2) the meaning or range of senses of the headword, with text citations used as illustrations 3) a statement about its lexical family. Then each subheadword within the main entry is examined in the same way that the headword has been examined for form and meaning.2Cross-reference entries Cross-reference entries are secondary entries where all subheadwords listed within main entries are listed.The dual purpose of this entry is 1. to enable the alphabetical arrangement of all words, affixes and clitics. 2to direct the reader to the main entry where the subheadword is defined in detailEach cross-reference entry has a single word gloss, and concludes with a word in upper case which is the headword of the main entry where this subheadword is fully defined.Ideally this entry consists of one line of text. 3Combining form entries This type of entry lists all the compound words which make use of one combining form, in order to show how all such words share the initial input of one particular combining form,The lists that result number from five to more than two hundred compounds. 4Classifier entries Although most classifiers are derived forms and could exist as subheadwords their status as a major word class with a unique semantic role sets them apart.The classifier entry is a special type of main entry, with a comment on form and meaning for each classifier, together with examples of their use and all variant forms.Comment on text citations as illustrations Text citations are taken from spoken Kiriwina sources I have accumulated, including letters written to me over the past 30 years, legends different people have recorded, political meetings attended, various social occasions, my field experience during twelve years residence in Kiriwina plus many later visits totalling more than four years, and time spent in bible translation committees.I consider the biblical text citations of great value, partly because of the value of context to embellish meaning; for this reason I have always stated their sources, so that any earnest student can examine the wider context of a quoted illustration by reference to bible texts.Also the Kiriwina translation team related positively to Hebrew poetic form, detecting meaning and associated detail that had escaped me.I commend their genius to the readers of this dictionary. 30'
