Guidelines:

  • Do not enter English words that are incredibly common (e.g., "is," "the," "John")
  • If the English word is in apposition to its Latin form, note both
  • Enter if there is ambiguity as to whether the word is English or French: this is raw material
  • Enter alphabetically, not chronologically
  • Indicate if you have checked the OED for significance
