| Entries with inflected forms | 22,088 (59.16%) |

| Mean translations per entry | 1.69 |
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.
