Example

The following example from Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary (Springfield, Mass.: G. & C. Merriam Company, 1975) shows a single related entry for which no definition is given, since its meaning is held to be readily derivable from the root entry.

    <entry>
    <form>
       <orth>neu · ral</orth>
       <pron>&STRESS;n(y)&udot;r-&schwa;l</pron>
       </form>
    <gramGrp><pos>adj</pos></gramGrp>
    <sense n='1'><def>of, relating to, or affecting a nerve or the
            nervous system</def></sense>
    <sense n='2'> ... </sense>
    <re>

Example

The following example from Diccionario de la Universidad de Chicago Ingl[eacute]s-Espa[ntilde]ol y Espa[ntilde]ol-Ingl[eacute]s / The University of Chicago Spanish Dictionary , Fourth Edition, compiled by Carlos Castillo and Otto F. Bond (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1987) shows a number of related entries embedded in the main entry. The original entry resembles the following: ``abeja [a · &bslash;[eacute] · xa] f. bee; abejera [a · &bslash;e · x[eacute] · ra] f. beehive; abej[oacute]n [a · &bslash;e · x[oacute]on] m. drone; bumblebee; abejorro [a · &bslash;e · x[oacute] · rro] m. bumble bee.'' One encoding for this entry would be:

    <entry>
      <form> <orth> abeja </orth>
          <pron> [a · &bslash;é · xa] </pron>
          </form>
      <gramGrp> <pos> f. </pos> </gramGrp>
      <sense> <def> bee </def>; </sense>
    <re>
      <form> <orth> abejera </orth>
          <pron> [a · &bslash;e · xé · ra] </pron>
          </form>
      <gramGrp> <pos> f. </pos> </gramGrp>
      <sense> <def> beehive </def>; </sense> </re>
    <re>
      <form> <orth> abejón </orth>
          <pron> [a · &bslash;e · xón] </pron>
          </form>
      <gramGrp> <pos> m. </pos> </gramGrp>
      <sense> <def> drone </def>; </sense>
      <sense> <def> bumblebee </def>; </sense> </re>
    <re>
      <form> <orth> abejorro </orth>
          <pron> [a · &bslash;e · xó · rro] </pron>
          </form>
      <gramGrp> <pos> m. </pos> </gramGrp>
      <sense> <def> bumble bee </def>. </sense> </re>
    </entry>

Example

In the much larger Simon & Schuster Spanish-English dictionary, [ see note 134 ] these derived forms of `abeja' are treated as separate main entries, but there are other embedded phrases shown as `<re>` s in its main entry for `abeja': ``abeja, f. 1. (ento.) bee. 2. busy bee, hard worker. 3. (astron.) A., Musca. -- a. albanila, mason bee; a. carpintera, carpenter bee; a. reina or maestra, queen bee; a. neutra or obrera, worker bee.'' This entry may be encoded thus:

    <entry>
    <form> <orth> abeja </orth> <gramGrp><gen> f. </gen></gramGrp> </form>
    <sense n='1.'>
            <usg type=domain> (ento.) </usg>
            <def> bee </def>.
            </sense>
    <sense n='2.'>
            <def> busy bee, hard worker </def>.
            </sense>
    <sense n='3.'>
            <usg type=domain orig='A.'> (astron.) </usg>,
            <def> Musca </def> ---
            </sense>
    <re>
    <form>  <orth orig='a. albanila'> abeja albanila </orth>,
            </form>
    <sense><def> mason bee </def>; </sense>
    </re>
    <re>
    <form>  <orth orig='a. carpintera'>  abeja carpintera </orth>,
            </form>
    <sense> <def> carpenter bee </def>; </sense>
    </re>
    <re>
    <form>  <orth id=O1 orig='a. reina or maestra'> abeja reina </orth>
            <orth mergedin=O1> abeja maestra </orth>
            </form>
    <sense> <def> queen bee </def>; </sense>
    </re>
    <re>
    <form>  <orth id=O2 orig='a. neutra or obrera'> abeja neutra </orth>
            <orth mergedin=O2> abeja obrera </orth>
            </form>
    <sense> <def> worker bee </def> . </sense>
    </re>
    </entry>

Note | Identical in sub-elements to an `<entry>` tag, and used where a dictionary has embedded information inside one entry which could have formed a separate entry. Some authorities distinguish related entries, run-on entries, and various other types of degenerate entries; no such typology is attempted here.
