The Dictionary and Concordance
of
Modern Elomi Usage
Section Two - Elomi to English
This dictionary and concordance includes all the words found in the known corpus of the Elomi language, and is hyperlinked to sample sentences drawn from that corpus. In this way the student of Elomi will be able to see, not only the dictionary definition of the word, but how it is used in context. The sentences are drawn from the corpus with preference given to the most recent samples for each word. In this way the samples are bound to reflect the most current customs and usages in Modern Elomi. As time goes on and more sentences are added to the corpus, they will displace the older, dated and obsolete usages and definitions, which will tend to fall away and no longer appear in the concordance.
This dictionary and concordance is divided into three sections. Section One is the English to Elomi dictionary, Section Two is the Elomi to English dictionary, and Section Three is the native Elomi dictionary where words are defined in Elomi with no reference made to any other languages.
