| Entries with only a definition, no translation | 43,816 |
| Entries with a usage example | 37,156 (14.6%) |
| Entries with inflected forms | 167,306 (65.76%) |

| Mean definition length | 45.9 characters |
| Mean translations per entry | 2.26 |
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.
