pos: Ain't Wife" (1675) by William Wycherley: "Gentlemen and Ladies, han't you all heard the late sad report / of poor Mr. Horner." Much like "an't", "han't" was sometimes pronounced with a long "a", yielding hain't. With H-dropping, the "h" of "han't" or "hain't" gradually disappeared in most dialects, and became "ain't". "Ain't" as a contraction for "has not/have not" first appeared in dictionaries in the 1830s, and appeared in 1819 in "Niles' Weekly Register": "Strike! Why I ain't got nobody here to strike..." Charles Dickens likewise used "ain't" to mean "haven't" in Chapter 28 of "Martin Chuzzlewit" (1844): ""You ain't got

While Francis Grose's 1785 "A Classical Dictionary of The Vulgar Tongue" listed the word as "C**T: a nasty name for a nasty thing", it did not appear in any major English dictionary from 1795 to 1961, when it was included in "Webster's Third New International Dictionary" with the comment "usu. considered obscene". Its first appearance in the "Oxford English Dictionary" was in 1972, which cites the word as having been in use

Example 1: " " "tuma -n awat -Ø koroka -e" "Tuma -erg tapir -abs. cook -n.pas." "‘Tuma cooks the tapir’" Another suffix morpheme phenomenon with ergativity is when a root word ends in a nasal sound or “n” - or when the root word ends in an alveolar occlusive consonant such as “t”, the initial morpheme “-n” allomorphs into “-an” which is conditioned by the ending of the root word. This is

According to the "Oxford English Dictionary" (OED), the word "pogrom" entered English from Yiddish which borrowed it from Russian. The OED gives two meanings for the word: and The first recorded use in English by the OED of the first meaning is in 1891 as a borrowed word, and it had become fully Anglicised by 1921. The OED records the first use of the second meaning as 1906 and that it had become fully Anglicised by 1975. A general dictionary definition may be the one used by academics

One type of assimilation in Irish is found when a coronal consonant (one of "d, l, n, r, s, t") changes from being broad to being slender before a word that begins with a slender coronal consonant, or from being slender to being broad before a word that begins with a broad coronal consonant. For example, ('deceive') ends with a broad "ll", but in the phrase ('it deceived me'), the

It is a dystopian thriller set in the not very distant future when the printed word has nearly vanished, technology dominates, and language has become a commodity. An online "Word Exchange" has taken the effort out of looking up words, a mere convenience until real dictionaries are no longer available. Then it becomes possible to corner the market for words.

The term scalar matrix is used to denote a matrix of the form "kI" where "k" is a scalar and "I" is the identity matrix. The word "scalar" derives from the Latin word "scalaris", an adjectival form of "scala" (Latin for "ladder"), from which the English word "scale" also comes. The first recorded usage of the word "scalar" in mathematics occurs in François Viète's "Analytic Art" ("In artem analyticem isagoge") (1591): According to a citation in the "Oxford English Dictionary"

Singaporean Hokkien typically uses the word "愛 ("ai")" to mean "want to", but in Taiwanese, the word "欲/卜 ("beh")" (which means "want" in Hokkien) is used instead. "愛 ("ai")" in Taiwanese typically means "love to" or "need to". Also, unlike Taiwanese Hokkien—which typically uses the word "敢 ("kám")" (meaning "whether or not", 是否 /是不是) when asking a question, which is more formal or polite—Singaporean Hokkien does not use the word "敢 ("kám")". Instead, it simply adds the word "無 ("bô")" at the end of the sentence to indicate that

Let denote this th entry. Under these hypotheses, the test if a word is in the dictionary may be done in logarithmic time: consider formula_8 where formula_9 denotes the floor function.

The so-called final form, which is needed to express a purpose ("in order to"), is formed in conjunction with the 'with', and has different endings. In the singular, the suffixes "-ae", "-ai", "-ilae" and "-ilai" are found, which after /l/ and /r/ become "-lae"/"-lai" and "-rae"/"rai" respectively. In the plural the same endings are used, though sometimes the plural suffix "-ša" is found as well, but this is not always the case.

(For example, in a thesaurus one could look up "doctor" and be presented with such words as healer, physician, surgeon, M.D., medical man, medicine man, academician, professor, scholar, sage, master, expert.) In theory, a reverse dictionary might go further than this, allowing you to find a word by its definition only (for example, to find the word "doctor" knowing only that he is a "person who cures disease"). Such dictionaries have become more practical with the advent of

For example, the word, "godliness" in 1 Tim. 2:2 is defined in the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary as "1: Divine 2: pious, devout -", but in Vines, it is defined as " 'to be devout,' denotes that piety which is characterized by a Godward attitude, does that which is well-pleasing to Him." So we have a fuller meaning of the word by seeing how the word is used in the NT. Vine's can be used with Strong's Concordance. Every word is numbered with the equivalent Strong's number so you can use it more efficiently. Vine did not write an equivalent

The "Dictionary of Spoken Chinese"'s English-Chinese section averages around 5 entries per page, compared to around 18 per page in the Chinese-English section.

The reverse word dictionary is a dictionary where the word entries in the dictionary are not alphabetized in the same manner as a traditional dictionary. For example, "A Reverse Dictionary of the Spanish Language" and "Walker's Rhyming Dictionary" are reverse dictionaries, the organization of which is based upon sorting each entry word upon its last letter and the subsequent letters proceeding toward the beginning of that word. Consequently, in these reverse dictionaries all words that have the same suffix appear in

That is, does the sequence "Q", "t"("Q"), "t"("Q"), "t"("Q"), ... terminate?

However, the spelling "ruby" has become more common since the W3C published a recommendation for "ruby markup".

The consonant "n" may also assimilate to the place of articulation of a following consonant, becoming labial before a labial consonant, palatal before a palatal consonant, and velar before a velar consonant. For example, the "nn" of ('one') becomes in ('a lame one') and in ('a scabbed one'). A voiced consonant at the end of a word may become voiceless when the next word begins with a voiceless consonant, as in ('he bent'), where the "b" sound of ('bent') has become a "p" sound before

Accordingly the word was marked as obsolete by the compilers of the Oxford English Dictionary published in the late 19th to early 20th century, and Webster's Dictionary did likewise in the 1913 unabridged edition. The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary in turn omitted the entry altogether. If it had not been resurrected in the role of a technical term, the word "statary" probably would have disappeared from

Using this data the translating program generates a "word-for-word bilingual dictionary" which is used for further translation. Whilst this system would generally be regarded as a whole different way of machine translation than Dictionary-Based Machine Translation, it is important to understand the complementing nature of this paradigms. With the combined power inherent in both systems, coupled with the fact that a Dictionary-Based Machine Translation works best with a "word-for-word bilingual dictionary" lists of words it

A dictionary of such anagrams may be used to solve puzzles or verify that a jumbled word is unique when creating puzzles. Algorithms have been designed to solve Jumbles, using a dictionary. Common algorithms work by printing all words that can be formed from a set of letters. The solver then chooses the right word.

In recent research, kernel-based methods such as support vector machines have shown superior performance in supervised learning. Graph-based approaches have also gained much attention from the research community, and currently achieve performance close to the state of the art.
