A dictionary that shows the whole paradigm.

What it is

eldertongue is an English-language dictionary of Old English (c. 450–1150). Each entry page gives the headword, part of speech, gender, declension or verb class, IPA with syllables, numbered senses, the full declension or conjugation table, every inflected form, etymology and the Modern English words that correspond to it.

Where the data comes from

All entry data comes from Wiktionary, via the kaikki.org machine-readable extraction, and is used under CC BY-SA 4.0. It is a single source: spellings follow Wiktionary's page titles, which normally omit macrons, and some entries are incomplete. See Attribution for details.

How pages are built

• Entry pages are generated from the data by fixed templates. They contain no machine-written prose about a word.
• Tables are rebuilt from Wiktionary's inflection data; each cell has a stable link such as /word/cyning#gen-sg.
• Thin entries (no table, a single sense, no IPA or etymology) are marked noindex.
