What is in an entry
| Entries with a real translation | 79,277 (80.16%) |
| Entries with only a definition, no translation | 19,620 |
| Entries with a usage example | 17,407 (17.6%) |
| Entries with inflected forms | 69,168 (69.94%) |
| Entries with pronunciation | 56,094 |
| Senses | 187,645 |
| Mean definition length | 48.9 characters |
| Mean translations per entry | 2.61 |
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.
