| Entries with only a definition, no translation | 16,070 |
| Entries with a usage example | 15,162 (12.04%) |
| Entries with inflected forms | 116,294 (92.37%) |

| Mean translations per entry | 1.86 |
An entry counted as “definition only” is one where the source wordnet knows the concept but has no word for it in the target language. These are shipped because a definition still helps a reader, and counted separately because calling them translations would be dishonest.
