How are Entries Organised
Entries are organised alphabetically by Crow (according to the alphabet listed on p. 7) in the Crow-English Dictionary section. Entries include the Crow headword, the part of speech, the English translation or description (where a one-to-one translation is not applicable), and examples. Examples in affix entries are words using the head affix, and examples in full-word entries are sentences using the headword. Examples are listed in Crow then English. Many entries include both forms of examples.
Entries are organised alphabetically by English in the English-Crow Key. This section of the dictionary functions as an index, and entries only include the English headword and the Crow translation.
Prior to the dictionary, there is basic structural information about the language. This includes information regarding orthography and phonology, plurals, prefixes, and possession.
