# Speedwords-English dictionary.
# Transcribed by Richard Kennaway from the "Dutton Speedwords Dictionary"
# by R.J.G. Dutton, published by Dutton Rapid Writing Systems Ltd, 4th
# edition, 1951. Additional information from "Teach Yourself Dutton
# Speedwords" by R.J.G. Dutton, published by Teach Yourself Books, revised
# edition, 1971.
# Blank lines and lines beginining with a # are comments.
# Every other line contains a speedword or affix, and its English definition,
# separated by a tab.
# A hyphen in a speedword separates the components. The hyphen is not part
# of the speedword as customarily written, but is included here for the
# convenience of computer programs.
# A part of a speedword in parentheses may be omitted for speed.
# Where a part of a speedword is enclosed in curly brackets, the bracketed
# section may be included or omitted, giving two different legal speedwords,
# sometimes with slightly different meanings. For example, "axe" and "axem"
# both mean "petition"; the latter specifically means a physical object,
# whereas the former is a verb or abstract noun.
# Where a speedword is a contraction of a longer form, the derivation is
# indicated in square brackets, e.g. az[al oz].
# Synonymous English definitions are separated by commas and no spaces.
# A parenthesized part of an English definition is for disambiguation,
# to explain which of several meanings of the defining word is intended.
# Several classes of words are regularly formed by prefixes and suffixes,
# and are therefore for the most part omitted from the dictionary. These are:
# plurals (-z)
# comparatives (me-)
# superlatives (my-)
# past tenses (y-)
# present participles (u-)
# past participles (-d)
# negatives formed by the English affixes in-, un-, and -less (-n)
# possibilities formed by the English suffixes -able, and -ible (-b)
# Thus the speedword for "incredible" is "krenb".
# Dutton's original text does not repeat each root word explicitly for each
# of its compounds. I have chosen to do so for clarity. In addition, I
# have sometimes given extra parenthesized English explanations where a
# definition appeared obscure on its own (e.g. tur-fi-v bow(knot)).
# Misprints were corrected where noted; I may have introduced new misprints
# of my own.
