Enter a word or part of a word, and you will be given a list of lemma and variations that match your query.
Use the same wildcards as for the quick search (*,?,"). You can refine your search by selecting a specific time period or year. You can also search the dictionary citations and English translations of Anglo-Norman words.
This function allows you to execute searches that focus on certain semantic fields and usage. You can also combine the labels; for example, if you wish to look for agricultural occupations in the dictionary data, simply perform a search that combines the two labels.
The languages search is a recent and exciting addition to the dictionary. This search returns loanwords, which are words that were taken into Anglo-Norman from another language with little or no alteration (e.g. English tenysballe).
