BASIC IDO-ENGLISH VOCABULARY




VOCABULARIES
Understanding the vocabularies

In the Ido-English vocabulary, the division of Ido words into their elements is shown by a full sto (US: period). This is just for the benefit of users and is not the way in which the words are normally written. Where there might be doubt as to whether a verb is transitive or intransitive an indication is given. Some verbs (for example, movar) are both transitive and intransitive, meaning that they may be used in either way. For some intransitive verbs (which cannot take a direct object) the preposition normally used after the verb has been given where this is likely to be helpful.

In view of the ambiguity of many English words, in both vocabularies every effort has been made to indicate in parentheses which meaning is intended. However, where several English words are given as equivalents of an Ido word, they must be understood as together showing the meaning of any one of them which on its own would be ambiguous. Different meanings of a word are separated with a semi-colon, while synonyms and near-synonyms are separated with a comma. US usage is indicated by (US).

Abbreviations include:
adj. = adjective; adv. = adverb; conj. = conjunction; fig. = figurative(ly); intr. = intransitive; n. = noun; prep. = preposition; pron. = pronoun; tr. = transitive; tr./intr. = transitive or intransitive; v. = verb.
