Instructions for easier use of the dictionary:
1. The dictionary is written in demotic with monotonic system.
2. The lemma is written in bold characters. The same applies to the derivatives and expressions provided.
3. The lemma is replaced by the symbol ~, where there are examples or expressions, for space economy reasons. The symbol ~ replaces either the whole word or a part of it, so there is no space between the symbol and the rest of the word, e.g. affarer (αφέρερ) noun pl.
4. The pronunciation is enclosed in brackets and has been rendered in Greek characters in the Swedish-Greek part and in Latin characters in the Greek-Swedish part, in order for the dictionary to be more user-friendly. Every possible effort has been made for the most accurate rendering of the pronunciation.
5. For each lemma there is a grammatical characterization in brief (e.g. noun)
6. Explanatory terms have been used where necessary (e.g. med.)
