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&middot;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><form>
             <orth>neurally</orth>
             <pron extent="suffix">-&schwa;-l&emacr;</pron>
          </form>
          <gramGrp>
             <pos>adv</pos>
          </gramGrp>
       </re>
    </entry>

Example

The following example from Diccionario de la Universidad de Chicago Inglés-Español y Español-Inglés / 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·bé·xa] f. bee; abejera [a·be·xé·ra] f. beehive; abejón [a·be·xóon] m. drone; bumblebee; abejorro [a·be·xó·rro] m. bumble bee.

One encoding for this entry would be:

    <entry>
      <form><orth>abeja</orth></form>
      <gramGrp><gen>f. </gen></gramGrp>
      <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 orig="A." type="domain"> (astron.) </usg>,
    	<def> Musca </def> &mdash;
      </sense>

           <sense><def>mason bee</def>;</sense>
      </re>
      <re><form>
            <orth orig="a. carpintera">

           </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>

Example

In the much larger Simon & Schuster Spanish-English dictionary,189 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 orig="A." type="domain"> (astron.) </usg>,
     <def> Musca </def> &mdash;
     </sense>
    <re>
      <form>
         <orth orig="a. albanila"> abeja albanila </orth>,
     </form>
      <sense>
         <def> mason bee </def>; </sense>
    </re>
    <re>
      <form>
         <orth orig="a. carpintera">

      <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.
