V ~Yhu has been used in order to make each entry easier to read, and an effort has been inal dictionary Word sources are given in italics, inset by two spaces Etyical information normally appears in a separate line, inset by four spaces

All the main entries are capitalised, but sub-entries and cross-references are in suish them from the main entries This distinction has been retained

Italics are indicated by _this_ markup Sh the note preceding the entries for the letter 'Y' clearly describes the letter 'yogh', the character used throughout is ? (the 'ezh' or 'Latin long z')

Numerous minor errors in punctuation have been silently corrected There are also many inconsistencies in punctuation which have been difficult or impossible to resolve, and many undoubtedly remain Consistency is not a feature of this text This particularly applies to the etyies are sometimes included ord definitions, separated by a coraph; also although ies (especially in the opening sections of the dictionary), none have been inserted

Spelling has been left unchanged unless a definite typo has ocurred, as it probably reflects spelling of the early 19th century This includes variant spellings of the same word

Hyphens were commoner within compound words than they are today, and there is also inconsistency in their use throughout this text There is also inconsistency in the hyphenation of Latin words, where hyphenation is sometimes, but not always, used to indicate Latin roots or noun/verb endings Hyphens have been retained unless there is a clear indication that the word should be unhyphenated

The spelling ”Lanerks[hire]” for ”Lanarks[hire]” appears to be the accepted spelling for this period, and therefore has been left unchanged

Five instances of _Kings Quair_ have been corrected to _King's Quair_
