Words are broken down into their roots by the symbols ` and +.
A + indicates the basic form of the word, which is the most natural. Actions are listed as verbs (with -i ending); things are listed as nouns (with -o ending); qualities are listed as adjectives (with -a ending).
The symbols following the word are:
* Indicates that the word is explained in the lesson

# indicates that the word can be guessed from the English, and is not explained in the lesson.
The number(s) in square brackets indicate the lesson(s) where the word is first introduced or where it is explained. Where no lesson number is indicated, this is to show the basic form of a word, where other forms are listed.
