		I have generally used as the headwords the forms chosen by Withycombe, but in some cases these are distinctly modern; in such cases I have preferred to use a more typically mediæval form.
		Immediately following the headword there is often a brief note on the etymology of the name; there may also be a word of explanation of one or more of the forms.

		Dictionary entries frequently refer to information in other entries, often using extremely dense notations to convey the headword of the entry to be sought, the particular part of the entry being referred to, and the nature of the information to be sought there (synonyms, antonyms, usage notes, etymology, an illustration, etc.)
		In many cases the reference is not to the orthographic form of the headword, but rather to another form of the headword — usually to an inflected form.
		Since existing printed dictionaries use different conventions for headword references (swung dash, first letter abbreviated form, capitalization or italicization of the word, etc.) the exact method used should be documented in the header.
