How are Entries Organised
Entries are organized alphabetically. The dictionary is split up in 2 sections: English to Hän (organized alphabetically by English), and Hän to English (organized alphabetically by Hän). Each entry includes the part of speech (i.e. noun, adverb) and translation. The entries in the Hän to English section also include the semantic category and 'usage' of the word. There is no guide to understanding the 'usage' category of each entry, which is appears to be 'LP' for every word.

Other Notes
The Alaska Native Language Archive has two files of the dictionary under their post. While one is significantly longer than the other, they contain the same information; the second one is longer simply because it adds a blank page after every page of entries.
