| Entries with only a definition, no translation | 86,973 |
| Entries with a usage example | 34,844 (20.57%) |
| Entries with inflected forms | 166,233 (98.15%) |

| Mean translations per entry | 1.37 |
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.
