How to approach this subject

Choose a subject, then follow a paragraph citation to the selected table or passage. Read across a table before extracting a word: a shared gloss, grouping mark or qualification can change how an entry should be understood. Establish whether an example comes from a historical description, a constructed teaching dialogue or an attributed explanation. Keep the source spelling when recording a form, and distinguish a written figure from a word for quantity or position. An approximate month range needs further evidence before it becomes an exact date. Use the linked guides to practise these reading steps and to identify which questions need another source.
