	Gloss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gloss (from koine Greek γλώσσα glossa, meaning 'tongue') is a note made in the margins or between the lines of a book, in which the meaning of the text in its original language is explained, sometimes in another language.
		Glosses are of some importance in philology, especially if one language—usually, the language of the author of the gloss—has left few texts of its own.
		Glosses frequently shed valuable light on the vocabulary of otherwise little attested languages; they are less reliable for syntax, because many times the glosses follow the word order of the original text, and translate its idioms literally.
