What is in an entry
| Entries with a real translation | 84,803 (100%) |
| Entries with only a definition, no translation | 0 |
| Entries with a usage example | 21,881 (25.8%) |
| Entries with inflected forms | 84,580 (99.74%) |
| Entries with pronunciation | 0 |
| Senses | 120,863 |
| Mean definition length | 63.2 characters |
| Mean translations per entry | 2.74 |
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.
