NOTE.--This vocabulary is not intended to contain all the words
that occur in the Italian text. The forms of the definite article
and the most common of the pronouns have been purposely
omitted. Likewise words whose form and meaning are the same, or
substantially the same, in both Italian and English, have usually
been excluded. The gender of Italian nouns has been noted only in
the more exceptional cases. Of those whose gender is not indicated,
nouns ending in =o= and those denoting male beings are masculine,
nouns ending in =a=, =u=, =-zione=, =-gione=, or =-udine=, and those
denoting female beings are feminine. The plural form of nouns is
given only in exceptional instances; and in case of adjectives the
masculine singular is uniformly given, even though a feminine or
plural form is the only one occurring in the text.
