| Entries with only a definition, no translation | 92,111 |
| Entries with a usage example | 34,201 (21.07%) |
| Entries with inflected forms | 160,026 (98.57%) |

| Mean definition length | 64.6 characters |
| Mean translations per entry | 1.28 |
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.
