This word list is provide courtesy of Prof. K.H.Yang. It is for personal use only, and not for commercial use of any kind.
 

Definitions: To get a definition of a word, use the Query Input Box. You can move the input box by clicking on the "arrow" icon, and the box will move to a different corner of the page. Continue clicking till it is in the corner you prefer. The query input box will stay on the page you are looking at, even if you scroll down. You can hide the box by clicking on the "minus" (-) sign. It will appear as a small "plus" (+) sign in the top left hand corner of the page. Click on the "plus" (+) sign to open the input box on the page.

There are two methods of putting a word into the input box. (1) Use the cursor and select a word from the word list; then click on the "check" mark in the query input box. A separate window will appear with the definition of the word (and other two word entries that contain that word). (2) Alternatively, you can type a word in the query input box, and click on the check mark.
