An essential tool for the learning of Latin, based around the GCSE
word lists of OCR and WJEC. Each Latin word is translated and given
a set of derivatives, some common and others less so. Space is
given for readers to annotate as they learn - and note other
derivatives they may come across too! A concise introduction and a
glossary of Latin in common usage combine to make this a vade mecum
for all learners of Latin as well as cruciverbalists. The text is
imaginatively punctuated by 20 illustrations by Amanda Short.
A great dictionary for home and school, with over 6,000 words
carefully defined in simple language and over 650 colourful
illustrations. Clearly displayed and easy to navigate, with example
sentences to show words in context, spelling tips and information
about word families and origins, plus grammar and punctuation help
at the back of the book.
This is substantially an abridgment of the author's' Latin
Dictionary for Schools'. The vocabulary has been extended to
include all words used by Catullus, Tibullus, Propertius, and
Tacitus. On the other hand, space has been saved by the omission of
all detailed references to books and passages, only the name of the
writer being indicated as authority for each word or phrase; and by
limiting the illustrative citations to those which are typical or
peculiarly instructive.
Filled with useful definitions, First Children's Dictionary is an
ideal first reference book for children eager to expand their
vocabulary. With over 3,000 entries of updated, curriculum-linked
content, First Children's Dictionary is an ideal starting place for
young children wanting to describe the world around them. From
using a dictionary to word histories that help develop an

an essential first reference book. Perfect for homework, First
Children's Dictionary is the ideal starting place for children aged
6 and up intrigued about where words come from.

Of extant languages, Ch'orti' Mayan is the closest to ancient the
Maya hieroglyphic script, but it is a language that is decreasing
in usage. In southern Guatemala where it is spoken, many children
no longer learn it, as Spanish dominates most experiences. From
linguistic and anthropological data gathered over many years, Kerry
Hull has created the largest and most complete Ch'orti' Mayan
dictionary to date. With nearly 9,000 entries, this trilingual
dictionary of Ch'orti', Spanish, and English preserves ancient
words and concepts that were vital to this culture in the past.
Each entry contains examples of Ch'orti' sentences along with their
translations. Each term is defined grammatically and linked to a
grammatical index. Variations due to age and region are noted.
Additionally, extensive cultural and linguistic annotations
accompany many entries, providing detailed looks into Ch'orti'
daily life, mythology, flora and fauna, healing, ritual, and food.
Hull worked closely with native speakers, including traditional
ritual specialists, and presents that work here in a way that is
easily accessible to scholars and laypersons alike.
