This vocabulary covers Vols. I and II of _Svensk Diktning_.
The vertical line is used to set off that part of a word left intact in
the process of inflection or conjugation; as, _aft|on (-onen, -nar)_;
_akt|a (-ade, -at)_; _an|gripa (-grep, -gripit)_.
The dash is employed for brevity and convenience to indicate that the
indefinite nominative plural form of a noun is the same as the
corresponding form in the singular; thus, _arbetare (-n, --)_. Also, in
peculiar instances, to show that the supine of a verb is the same as the
root, or, the infinitive without its sign _(-a)_; thus, _mist|a (-ade,
-at; -e, --)_.
Of _nouns_, the def. nom. sg. and the indef. nom. pl. are given or
indicated within parentheses. Proper nouns are here included only where
their Swedish and English forms differ or where they may be variously
rendered.
Of _regular verbs_, the principal parts are indicated by their
conjugational endings in the preterite and supine, active or passive,
according to the text and for the purpose of preciseness in rendition.
_Strong_ and _irregular verbs_ are given either in full or mainly
complete in form, as, _bryta (bröt, brutit)_; _be|grava (-grov, -gravit;
-gravde, -gravt)_.
A title-word with several radically different meanings is repeated.
The use of inflected adjectives as adverbs and of participles as
adjectives is noted except where the meaning is obvious.
