In the dictionary part there is lexical material no longer used today, or so we hear rarely, usually at home, in the family. Using it is subject to certain factors: age of the caller, the themes of conversation, particular emotional situation or the other. The entries record not only the meaning of the word, but also the diversity of pho¬netic, inflectional, peculiar grammatical forms. The usual entry articles are examples of the use of the word in context, and often phrases and proverbs.
