The Foolish Dictionary was written by Gideon Wurdz (the pen name for Charles Wayland Towne, according to ,) and was published in 1904. According to the beginning of the book, it is An exhausting work of reference to un-certain English words, their origin, meaning, legitimate and illegitimate use... This a a short but amusing dictionary which redefines words in some interesting ways. Funny and sometimes bizarre observations are sprinkled throughout. In keeping with policy to read, rather than attempt to rewrite, books - even those with offensive content - nothing has been omitted. While many of the definitions may just seem confusing or corny to modern readers, there are a couple that also might be considered objectionable, particularly in section 10, which contains offensive content of a racial nature.

Excerpt: At the very outset of the writer?s literary career, a friend, long since dead, gave him the subject of this Study. Later on he found the same story in a collection published about the beginning of the present century. To the best of his belief, it is some stray fancy of the brain of Hoffmann of Berlin; probably it appeared in some German almanac, and was omitted in the published editions of his collected works. The Comedie Humaine is sufficiently rich in original creations for the author to own to this innocent piece of plagiarism; when, like the worthy La Fontaine, he has told unwittingly, and after his own fashion, a tale already related by another....

According to the publishers, it would take a single person 120 years to 'key in' text to convert it to machine readable form which consists a total of 59 million words of the OED second edition, 60 years to proofread it, and 540 megabytes to store it electronically. As of 30 November 2005, the Oxford English Dictionary contained approximately 301,100 main entries. Supplementing the entry headwords, there are 157,000 bold-type combinations and derivatives; 169,000 italicized-bold phrases and combinations; 616,500 word-forms in total, including 137,000 pronunciations; 249,300 etymologies; 577,000 cross-references; and 2,412,400 usage quotations. The dictionary's latest, complete print edition (Second Edition, 1989) was printed in 20 volumes, comprising 291,500 entries in 21,730 pages. The longest entry in the OED2 was for the verb set, which required 60,000 words to describe some 430 senses. As entries began to be revised for the OED3 in sequence starting from M, the longest entry became make in 2000, then put in 2007. Despite its impressive size, the OED is neither the world's largest nor earliest dictionary. The Dutch diction...

Researchers, students and the public have become unsatisfied with the overall user-experience of library search engines as well as the availability and accessibility of library materials. There are thousands of resources to discover and it’s hard to know where to start. The daunting task of beginning a research project often leads researchers to simple and popular web search engines instead. The open web yields easier results but the content found is less authoritative and credible. The library loses users while researchers are left to settle for unsatisfactory resources. This has become a real problem for libraries and researchers around the world. Until now....

Description Details
The "Notes on Hawaiian Grammar" included in the first three editions of the Hawaiian-English Dictionary have in this volume been revised and expanded. The original notes were written during the early 1950s, and since that time the number of students of Polynesian languages has increased considerably, with resulting increase in knowledge of these languages. This new Grammar, therefore, presents an approach rather different from the previous one; however, it is not couched in the most recent linguistic terminology, partly because the authors belong to a different generation, and partly because it is hoped that this volume will be of value to all students and teachers of the Hawaiian language, whether or not they are trained in contemporary linguistics. The approach is data-oriented and structural, and most attention is devoted to the sound system and to the structure of words and phrases, with less concentration on complex sentences. Nevertheless, an attempt is made to cover the major features of the language; the result is probably the most comprehensive treatment ever made of Hawaiian grammar. The analysis is based on the Hawa...

The English translations of illustrative sentences may in some instances seem awkward, but close translations are helpful to students. Not every possible translation of an illustrative sentence is given. For example, ia, meaning both 'he' and 'she', is usually translated 'he' to avoid the awkward 'he/she' and 'him/her'. Since Hawaiian is mainly tenseless and English is decidedly not, translations perforce included tense, but the alternative tenses are not given for every Hawaiian perfective aspect. Reading of the Grammar will be aided if the Hawaiian Dictionary is at hand, but intelligibility does not depend on access to that volume. However, the Grammar is by no means a substitute for the Dictionary. Meanings in the examples in the Grammar are in some instances ad hoc glosses; usually many more meanings and examples are given in the Dictionary. Early Hawaiian grammars by Adelbert von Chamisso and W. D. Alexander, student papers, and the writings of Bruce Biggs, Patrick Hohepa, and Andrew Pawley concerning other Polynesian languages have been helpful in the years of preparation of this volume. Emily A. Hawkins' doctoral d...

The design of this work is primarily to aid Hawaiian youth of intelligence in acquiring a knowledge of the English language; and it is intended, in connection with the grammar, to furnish them adequate help, under the direction of the living teacher, until they can use the English Dictionary with English definitions. The present is mainly a translation of Webster's Abridgement still more abridged. Many words are thrown out, which are rarely used, and which will never be needed, till the student is able to learn their import from the English Dictionary. Others are omitted to avoid swelling the size of the volume, and because the student, if well drilled by his teacher in the construction of compound and drivative words, will soon learn their import, by knowing the meaning of their primitives, and the force of peculiar terminations appended to them. It is hoped also that the English student of the Hawaiian language will find some help from the present work, while seeking to enlarge his stock of Hawaiian words. With this object in view, two or three or more native definitions have sometimes been introduced as conveying the mea...

In 1836 "A Vocabulary of Words in the Hawaiian Language" was published by Lorrin Andrews. The evident usefulness of this list of about 6000 words led its author to prepare "A Dictionary of the Hawaiian Language" which was issued in 1865.Andrews' dictionary had long been out of print and increasing interest in Polynesian linguistic studies, the need of an authoritative reference book for the spelling, pronunciation, and definition of Hawaiian words, led to arrangements for the preparation of a new Hawaiian dictionary under the direction of the Board of Commissioners of Public Archives. A legislative act of 1913 made provision for "compiling, printing, binding, and publishing in book form a dictionary of the Hawaiian language" in which was to be given "the correct pronunciation of the ancient and modern Hawaiian words and phrases and their respective equivalents or meanings in the English language." As a necessary step in the preparation of a dictionary the Board of Archives transcribed all the words appearing in Andrews' Dictionary. These totaled about 15,000 typewritten cards. Following this preliminary work consideration was give...

Urmărirea oficială a început pe data de 22.03.1985 (deşi am găsit în dosare şi rapoarte din ianuarie 1985) şi a continuat şi după fuga obiectivului „SAVU” pe data de 07.09.1988 în lagărul de refugiaţi politici din Istambul şi Ankara (Turcia). A fost luat în atenţie de Serviciul III din cadrul Inspectoratul Judeţean Dolj, pe linia problemei „Atlas”. Ȋn vreme ce ei „mă lucrau în urmărire informativă” cu atȃta zel … eu habar n-aveam! Ba chiar mă băgaseră în atenţia Serviciului de Contraspionaj (conform Notei RD. 5/890/1985): fiindcă aveam multe legături cu străinii. Ca-n filme poliţiste, numai că antieroul eram... EU însumi!

Revăzȃnd acest D.U.I. 742 „Savu”, format din 4 volume şi însumȃnd peste 1200 file! – cu menţiunea -, m-a apucat deodată o nemulţumire generală, o scȃrbă pentru această viaţă irosită, în zbatere continuă... cu o soartă mereu în cumpănă.

Pierderi de manuscrise Am pierdut vreo 350 pagini de manuscrise în perioada aceea. A fost şi greşeala mea că mă grăbeam să le public ori să le scot din ţară... n-am avut răbdare să aştept. Dar cine se gȃndea atunci că o să cadă dictatura, cȃnd ea părea aşa de stabilă şi tare ca betonul?! 1) Trei plicuri mari şi groase, albe, puse la poşta din Craiova, din spatele Universităţii Centrale, şi expediate către aceeaşi Chantal Signoret în primele zile din septembrie 1988 – înaintea „fugii mele”. Acestea au fost confiscate de către Securitate şi menţionate în Dosariada lor, dar neînapoiate manuscrisele (în jur de 100 pagini) - în ciuda apelului meu către CNSAS, cu toate că majoritatea erau inofensive, adică: probleme propuse şi rezolvate de matematică, rebusuri, şi poeme nepolitice. Nu înţeleg nici acum de ce nu-mi înapoiază CNSAS-ul manuscrisele? Au fost distruse? Dar... au vrut să-mi facă rău cu tot dinadinsul... Curios, că alte doua plicuri, la fel de mari, trimise din Bucureşti de la o poşta din Drumul Taberei, în aceleaşi zile, au ajuns la Chantal, care mi le-a retrimis în Turcia. Deci Securitatea din capitală nu mă avea încă în...

"This publication is significant because it extends the lexicon but more importantly, it provides the contemporary speaker with an essential tool with which to describe her/his world through the medium of Hawaiian. All languages survive because they adapt and borrow and because they continue to be spoken by a greater number of people." —Timoti Karetu, Chairman, Te Kohanga Reo National Trust Mamaka Kaiao adds to the 1998 edition more than 1,000 new and contemporary words that are essential to the continuation and growth of ka olelo Hawaii—the Hawaiian language. The title, which in English means "carrying forward into the dawning of a new era," emphasizes the role of this work in providing today's speakers and students of Hawaiian with a modern vocabulary. This dictionary opens with a detailed description of how words are created by the Hawaiian Lexicon committee with Pukui and Elbert's Hawaiian Dictionary serving as the primary written source and native speakers of Hawaiians as the primary spoken resource. The first main section contains more than 6,000 Hawaiian entries (alphabetized according to the Hawaiian alphabet) followed by...
