Use this index to find the form of a phrase that you want to look up in
the dictionary. If you are looking for a single word, please look up that
word in the main body of the dictionary. Single words are not indexed
here. To use this index, pick out any major word in the phrase you are
seeking. Then look up the simplest form of that word in this index to
find the form of the phrase used in the dictionary. Finally, look up the
phrase in the main body of the dictionary.
Some of the words occurring in the phrasal entries do not appear
as entries in this index. Some words are omitted because they occur so
frequently that their lists would cover many pages. In these instances,
you should look up the phrase under some other word. Most of the
grammar or function words, such as prepositions, pronouns, and arti-
cles, are not indexed.
