Create Dictionary landing page (interlingual-dictionary intro, in-character)

The '''Dictionary''' is the interlingual lexicon of Yezur — a companion to the [[Main Page|encyclopedia]] devoted not to things and places, but to '''words'''. Where the encyclopedia tells the story of a language, the Dictionary records its vocabulary: what each word means, how it is spoken, and where it came from.

Because Yezur is home to many languages, its words are best understood side by side. A single entry can trace a word back to its family's proto-language, set it against its cousins in sister tongues, and follow it as it is borrowed across the borders of families. Tracing how the world's languages meet and mingle is much of the interest here.

== Languages ==
Entries are drawn from the languages of Yezur, among them:

{{#cargo_query:tables=Languages
|fields=_pageName=Language, native_name=Endonym, family=Family
|order by=family, _pageName
|format=table
}}

== How an entry works ==
Each entry belongs to a single word in a single language, and gathers:
* its '''meaning''' and part of speech;
* its '''pronunciation''' and native spelling;
* its '''etymology''' — the roots from which it descends; and
* its '''relatives''' — cognates and borrowings in other tongues.

The lexicon is only beginning to be gathered; more words are added as the languages are described.

== Companion works ==
* '''[[Main Page|The Encyclopedia]]''' — the world of Yezur, its lands and peoples.
* '''[[Map:Main Page|The Map]]''' — the atlas of Yezur and the craft of charting it.
