Notes on the German vocabulary files

The German vocabulary files supplied with Interlex adhere to the following conventions:

• Nouns are preceded by the definite article, which is not translated.
• If a plural form exists it is given in brackets after the noun, e.g. der Markt (Märkte).
• A dash indicates that the plural is formed by adding to the singular, e.g. die Bank (-en).
• A solitary dash indicates that there is no change in the plural, e.g. der Pullover (-).
• Prepositional and/or case government is indicated in brackets, the case being preceded by a plus sign, e.g. vertrauen (+dat.), sich verlieben (in +acc.)
• Spelling conforms to the recently introduced Rechtschreibreform.
